Ability to get posts by a single character tags

Developer help
1

Hello there!

I recently discovered that we cannot fetch posts filtering by tags with a single character slug.

For example:
Let’s say we have a tag
{"name":"A", "slug":"a"}

and we have a few posts tagged under the tag A

and when we want to fetch the posts by that tag (using the #get helper or a POST request)

[Request]

http://localhost:2368/ghost/api/content/posts/?key={content_api_key}&filter=tag:a

[Response]

{
  "errors":[{
      "message": "Request not understood error, cannot list posts.",
      "context": "Error parsing filter",
      "type": "BadRequestError",
      "details": null,
      "property": null,
      "help": null,
      "code": null,
      "id": "76cc1d60-cc37-11ee-afdd-17dd30382102",
      "ghostErrorCode": null
    }]
}

Can anyone advise if this is the expected behavior of the API (and if so, why)? :thinking:

Does it work if you use this alternate syntax?

http://localhost:2368/ghost/api/content/posts/slug/a/?key={content_api_key}

Hey @markstos

Unfortunately, nope. Getting the same error. (But from the URL you proposed, I can see that you are trying to fetch the posts with the slug ‘a’ if I’m not mistaken - My original request is to fetch the posts with the tag slug ‘a’)
