[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Help using AS Restful API to query

[James Bullen]

Something like this works for me:

/search type[]=resource type[]=archival_object page=1 filter={"query":{"comparator":"greater_than","field":"system_mtime","value":"2019-10-02","jsonmodel_type":"date_field_query"}}

I've submitted a ticket that will hopefully lead to this being resolved: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-962?filter=-2 <https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-962?filter=-2>.

I need to use the API to search within a given repository to find records that have been modified after a particular time (e.g. modified within the last 48 hours).  (We then want to export metadata related to those resources or archival_objects for a project we're working on.)

I would be fine with performing two searches, one for resources and one for archival_objects, if that is required.
