Search for instances. Filters eq, contains, gte and lte AND-compose; or / not are additive follow-ups. Pages with an opaque cursor; the +1 fetch returns has_more without a second round-trip. Ordered by sort_by (default created_at) in order (default ascending), id breaking ties; rows with no value for a property key sort last.

The catalogue master of one dish or drink, shared by every outlet that sells it: names, its item class (menu_item_in_class → VAT, revenue category, course), the reporting group menu engineering reads, and its allergens. What gets priced and ordered is a menu_item_variant (variant_of_menu_item); where it appears is menu_item_in_section; an optional recipe binding (menu_item_uses_recipe) carries COGS. Distinct from service_item, the venue-level catalogue row.

object
branch

Optional open-branch id. Search composes that branch’s copy-on-first-write overlay instead of main, so a preview reads its own hypothetical writes. Omit to read main.

string format: uuid
cursor

Opaque cursor from a prior response’s next_cursor. Pass back verbatim; do not introspect.

string
filters

Conjunctive list of predicates. Empty or omitted matches every row in scope, capped by limit.

limit

Page size. Server defaults to 50, silently clamps at 500 (AIP-158 §3).

integer
>= 1 <= 500
order

Direction of sort_by: asc (oldest / smallest first) or desc. A cursor is bound to the sort_by and order it was minted under; another pair is refused (422).

string
default: asc
Allowed values: asc desc
property_id

The house a desk stands in: keeps this property’s rows (property- or venue-scoped there) and every row scoped to no property (tenant, brand, portfolio), and drops a sibling house’s — the meaning property_id has on the event tail.

string
Allowed value: tenant
Allowed values: tenant
sort_by

What the page is ordered by: the row’s created_at or updated_at, or a property whose type orders — strings, enums and dates as text, ints, decimals and durations as numbers, datetimes as instants. Rows with no value sort last in either direction. A property the caller is not cleared to read is refused (403).

default: created_at
Allowed values: created_at updated_at code name short_name description reporting_group course_default

allergens
Allergens (EU 14)

The item’s declared allergens (Food Information Regulations 2014). Absent = not yet declared, which the till treats as unknown; an empty list declares none. A recipe-bound item takes its recipe’s rollup instead.

orderable_alone
required
Orderable on its own

False for an item that is only ever added as a modifier option (extra bacon, a side sauce) and so has no till key of its own.

boolean
reporting_group
Reporting group

The operator’s own grouping for menu engineering and sales reports (Starters, Grills, Red wine) — Simphony’s family group. The revenue split itself comes from the item class.

string
short_name
Short name

What a till key and a kitchen ticket show when the full name will not fit.

string
provenance

Per-property source attribution and pins. An entry under properties means the property’s current value came from that source (on the source’s own clock, source_updated_at); an entry under pins is a human override protecting the property from sourced writes.
