SharePoint Online rest api filter list items

Here I have a SharePoint custom list which 3 columns name as EmpID, FirstName, and Age. We will try to retrieve records whose Age is greater than 30 by using rest api in SharePoint.

We can put the below rest api code inside a script editor web part or content editor web part in SharePoint web part page.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script>
$(function(){
$("#btnClick").click(function(){
var requestUri = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('Employee')/items/?$filter=Age gt 30";
$.ajax({
url: requestUri,
type: "GET",
headers: {
"accept":"application/json; odata=verbose"
},

success: onSuccess,
error: onError
});

function onSuccess(data) {
var items = data.d.results;
var result=";
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
result +=items[i].Id+ " : " + items[i].Title +'\n';
}
alert (result);
}
function onError(error) {

alert(JSON.stringify(error));
}
});
});
</script>

<input type="button" id="btnClick" value="Get all List Items based on Condition"/>

The results will come like below:

Similarly, if you want to retrieve records based on conditions like Age greater than 20 and less than 32

var requestUri = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('Employee')/items/?$filter=Age gt 20 and Age lt 33";

The results will come like below:

Similarly, If you want to filter based on date, then you can write the URL like below:

var requestUri = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('Employee')/items/?$filter=Created lt '2015-03-22'";
