not_in

Filter stories by checking if a field does not match any of the specified values.

Examples Use Cases

filter_query[categories][not_in]=space-exploration,culture
Returns all stories without categories space-exploration AND culture

filter_query[categories][not_in]=space-exploration,history,tech
Returns all stories without categories space-exploration AND history AND tech

filter_query[topics][not_in]=physics,ai,space
Returns all stories without topics physics AND ai AND space

Note

If the field is of type multi-option or taxonomy, the not_in operation excludes stories that have any of the specified values. For example, filter_query[categories][not_in]=space-exploration,culture excludes stories that have either category.
