Filters

Some endpoint queries require a filter. A filter is basically a JSON object with the following format:

Credentials filter:

  "filter" : {
    "ids" : ["ID1", "ID2", "ID3", ...],
    "type" : "TYPE",
    "description" : "DESCRIPTION"
  }

When using delete endpoints, ids in the filter are mandatory.
