​
Definition

Filters in Criteo’s Retail Media Delivery API are designed to mirror the filtering options that shoppers use when browsing product listings. This allows for a more targeted and relevant ad delivery based on specific product attributes. Each filter has three main properties:
  • name
  • operator
  • value

​
Name

This can be one of the standard filters (see below), or a custom filter that you’ve set up within the product feed.

​
Operator

The condition applied to the filter. Supported operators include:

​
eq: equal to

​
gt: greater than

​
lt: less than

​
ge: greater than or equal to

​
le: less than or equal to

​
in: membership in a list

​
neq: not equal

​
nin: not in

​
Value

The specific value(s) to filter on. This can be either a text string for filters like brand, or a numerical value for filters like price. The value(s) must match the exact values passed within the corresponding field of the product feed. Note: eq , neq, in, and nin operators can support multiple values, while the others only support single value.

​
Standard Filters

Criteo supports the following standard filters:
  • brand
  • price
  • rating
These filters are pulled directly from the corresponding fields in the product feed. Additional custom filters must be configured within the product feed’s filters field. Please refer to the Criteo Feed Parameters page for more details.

​
Examples

​
Single Filter

  • filters=(price,le,500): Only allow products that are less than or equal to $500.
  • filters=(color,eq,blue): Only allow products whose value for the “color” custom filter is “blue”.
  • filters=(brand,in,sony,hp,dell): Only allow products from the brands Sony, HP, or Dell.

​
Multiple Filters

  • filters=(brand,in,sony,hp,dell),(price,lt,500): Only allow products from the brands Sony, HP, or Dell that also cost less than $500.
  • filters=(price,ge,100),(price,le,500): Only allow products with a price between $100 and $500, inclusive.
Multiple filters are a logical ANDSending multiple filters works as a logical AND, which means that the returned products will follow all the filter rules. This might lead to some unexpected behavior.For example: when sending (price,ge,80),(price,ge,100) , the API will send back products with price ≥ 80 AND price ≥ 100, i.e., effectively only products with price ≥ 100.

​
Sample API Call

In this example, the filter filters=(price,le,500) is applied, meaning only products that are less than or equal to $500 (based on the product feed) will be considered.
