# Enhanced multi-value parameters for Job and Company queries

jobdataapi.com v4.12 / API version 1.14

---

We significantly enhanced the functionality of our multi-value parameters, providing you with even greater flexibility and precision when querying job, expired job, and company data. 

### Key Enhancements

- **Expanded multi-value parameters**: You can now utilize additional multi-value parameters across the `/api/jobs/`, `/api/jobsexpired/`, and `/api/companies/` endpoints. This enhancement allows for more complex queries and combining multiple criteria seamlessly.

- **Improved inclusion and exclusion logic**: The logic for including and excluding values has been refined. You can now specify multiple values for parameters such as `company_type_id`, `industry_id`, and `type_id` using the pipe (`|`) character for inclusion, and prefixing with a minus sign (`-`) for exclusion. This allows for more tailored searches, such as filtering jobs from specific industries while excluding certain job types.

- **Multi-keyword support for more query parameters**: The `name`, `description`, and `specialty` parameters in the `/api/companies/` endpoint as well as the `application_url` parameter in the `/api/jobs/` and `/api/jobsexpired/` endpoints now also support multi-keyword searches. Users can combine keywords using the `|OR|` operator, making it easier to find jobs and companies that match a variety of criteria.

### Example Usage

To retrieve jobs from multiple job types while excluding specific ones:
```bash
https://jobdataapi.com/api/jobs/?type_id=1|2|-3|-4
```

To find jobs with titles containing either **Data Engineer** or **Data Scientist** while excluding those with **Azure** or **Power BI**:
```bash
https://jobdataapi.com/api/jobs/?title=data engineer|OR|data scientist|OR|-azure|OR|-power bi
```

For more detailed information on how to utilize these new features, please refer to the [Multi-value Parameters Documentation](/c/multi-value-parameters-documentation/). You'll also now see hints added to each parameter that supports multi-value filters in the API endpoint docs.
