Dear Community and awork,
as per awork documentation [https://developers.awork.com/apiv1/time-entries/returns-all-time-entries](https://developers.awork.com/apiv1/time-entries/returns-all-time-entries) we try to get time entries and filter them by user.
for this request
[https://api.awork.com/api/v1/timeentries?filterby=user/id](https://api.awork.com/api/v1/timeentries?filterby=user/id) eq „12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789123“
we always receive an answer like that:
Fehlerhafte Antwort von awork: 400 {„code“:„invalid-filter-or-order“,„description“:„Something is wrong with the given ‚filterby‘ expression.“,„traceId“:„f50c6cb3c82bf2b5f0f7000ec7e009b1“}
What’s wrong with our request?
Thanks for any help!
Max

Hi @Max5 and welcome to the forum.
You need to include `guid'123..'` to make the user id as a guid.
See the docs here: [Filtering | awork API | Documentation](https://developers.awork.com/filtering#data-types)
Hope this helps.

Have a nice weekend.
