Filters are applied through the REST API by adding a filter block within the transfer block of a transfer job body when calling the REST API (POST .../v1/jobs) or using the CLI to create a job. A source or destination block or both may be defined. Each refers to the source and destination connections for the job. Note that the filter block is placed within the transfer block. The action value is set to either exclude or include.
