To only show some fields.

scm list-players --qry-param.fields=name,type

200
{
  "list": [

      "type": "SCALA"
    },
    {

      "name": "test",
      "type": "SCALA"
    }
  ],
  "offset": 0,
  "count": 2
}

To filter players.

scm list-players --qry-param.filters.name.values=test --qry-param.filters.comparator=like

Here you need to know that --qry-param.filters.name.values=test --qry-param.filters.comparator=like is equal to filters={'name': {'values': test}, 'comparator': 'like'}, the options will be recursively merged.

{
  "list": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "test",
      "uuid": "fb9a7df1-f972-4460-a2c2-1c09dbf655f0",

Note

All the api informations, including methods, description, path parameters, query parameters, query body are pull from the api doc, there may be mistakes, so you might need to change the completion.json on your own or make a pull request.
