Note [1]: Lists can be either comma or space separated. All list items are combined with logical OR operators - in other words an application is considered matching if it matches to any of the values in the list.
Note [2]: This limits selection to applications that have been submitted, since offers (initially in “Unreplied” status) will be created while submitting an application. An application may contain any number of courses, but they will be turned into offers only at submission. This also applies to edits made after submission. For example an applicant may add a course after submission, but the corresponding offer will appear only after submission.
Note [3]: Currently only one flag ID can be listed. This limitation will be lifted at a later date.
Note [4]: Some elements in the returned objects are links to other API calls. Using the expand parameter, it is possible to expand this data to the actual records, saving additional API calls. The full list of possible expansions is applicant,flags,courses,offers,documents,tasks,scores. You can set one or multiple expansions, combining them in a comma-separated fashion to the expand parameter. Note also that using this parameter caps to limit to 8192 due to performance reasons.
