WebServer API: How to retrieve the result of "... then[X]else[Y]]" filter using "WebServer API" calls?

[msameen99]

Hello,

I’m using the WebServer API: Get All Tiddlers successfully to retrieve my Tiddlers using customized filters.

My Question, Is it possible to use "WebServer API" to execute/return a filter ended with [then[X]else[Y]] where "X" and "Y" are just text (not tiddler's titles)?

Note:
currently I'm using a working workaround to accomplish this task as the following:
For each filter results (X,Y, Yes, No, .....), I'm creating "dummy" tiddlers with titles are exactly the same as the expected results , but this mean I need to create as many tiddlers as my possible results.

Regards

Hi @msameen99 I don't think it is currently possible to retrieve filter results that are not actual tiddlers. But it is a useful capability, so I'd be in favour of introducing a mechanism that makes it possible. Perhaps another optional parameter.

Thanks a lot Jermolene for your answer,
