API Methods: Saved Searches

The methods available here are related to saved searches.

CreateSavedSearch

Create a new saved search associated with the current account.

It requires three arguments:

name: The “slug” name for this saved search. It must consist of only lowercase ASCII letters, numbers and hyphens. This is the text which must be used when using the “search:name” syntax. If this parameter is not included a name will be generated automatically based on the title.
title: The display name for the saved search.
search: The search string to save.

For example, the following request creates a saved search associated with the account:

?action=CreateSavedSearch&name=name1&title=Title%201&search=id:1

The method returns a JSON serialized version of the new saved search, like the following result:

{
    "name": "first",
    "title": "First Computer",
    "search": "id:1"
}

EditSavedSearch

Edit a saved search associated with the current account.

It takes three arguments:

name: The slug name for this saved search, this is the text which must be used when using the search:name syntax. A saved search with this name must already exist in the account.
title: The new display name for the saved search. If this parameter is not included then the title will not be modified.
search: The search string to save. If this parameter is not included then the search string will not be modified.

For example, the following request edits the title of a saved search associated with the account:

?action=EditSavedSearch&name=name1&title=Title%201

{

The method returns a JSON serialized list of saved searches, like the following result:

[
    {
