List participants
The participant set, keyset-paginated. Default sort is first-seen newest-first. Comma-array filters (country, scheme, smp, ap, doctype, transport_profile, host, provenance, and the company-register cuts entity_type, sector, size, region, postcode), the single-valued sub_provider cut, registered + vat_liable booleans, and a smart q (a scheme::value/bare value hits the ID index; free text runs a trigram name-contains). First-page meta carries estimated totals and rollup facets; meta.filter_count is a bounded exact count that degrades to null (never an error) if it exceeds the query timeout. Discovered participants carry no name/card fields (privacy).
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| sort | string | no | Sort + keyset key. `registered`, `entity_type` (the Type column) and `sector` (the Activity / NACE-division column) order over `(<col>, first_seen_at, id)`; the `entity_type`/`sector` views show only enriched (non-null) participants. It is IGNORED when `doctype`/`transport_profile`/`host` is set WITHOUT any other narrowing filter, and when `sub_provider` is set without `q` or one of those endpoint filters — those results are driven from the matching index and ordered by identifier (`scheme`, `value`), the only ordering that stays inside the query timeout. Otherwise (an endpoint filter combined with `country`/`smp`/`ap`/`registered`/`provenance`/`q`, or `sub_provider` with `q`) the normal sort applies. |
| country | array | no | Comma-array of ISO country codes (`BE,NL`). |
| scheme | array | no | Comma-array of Peppol identifier schemes. |
| smp | array | no | Comma-array of current SMP hostnames (`smp1.example,smp2.example`). |
| ap | array | no | Comma-array of serving Access Point SeatIDs (`PBE000123,PNO000456`). |
| doctype | array | no | Comma-array of Peppol document type ids. Matches a participant if ANY of its current endpoints declares one of the given doctypes. Used ALONE (no other filter) results are ordered by identifier and `sort` is ignored; combined with another filter the requested `sort` applies. |
| transport_profile | array | no | Comma-array of transport profile ids (`peppol-transport-as4-v2_0`). Matches a participant if ANY of its current endpoints uses one of the given profiles. Used ALONE (no other filter) results are ordered by identifier and `sort` is ignored; combined with another filter the requested `sort` applies. |
| host | array | no | Comma-array of endpoint-URL hostnames (`ap.example.com`). Matches a participant if ANY of its current endpoints publishes an endpoint URL on one of the given hosts — the exact participant set an Access Point host serves. Case-insensitive. Used ALONE (no other filter) results are ordered by identifier and `sort` is ignored; combined with another filter the requested `sort` applies. |
| sub_provider | string | no | ONE curated sub-provider (reseller) slug (`codabox`) — the same slugs `GET /v1/aps/{key}` reports in `sub_providers[].sub_provider`. Matches a participant the daily rollup fingerprinted to that brand on ANY of its current endpoints, from three signals: the SMP `ServiceDescription`, the SMP technical-contact domain, and the endpoint host. Only curated names resolve, so the free-text long tail is not addressable here. Unlike the other filters this one takes a single value: a comma list, or a value that is not a slug (lowercase alphanumerics, dash-separated), is a 400. The sub-provider is an ADDITIVE annotation — the `ap` seat stays the operator of record. Results are ordered by identifier (`scheme`, `value`) and `sort` is ignored, EXCEPT alongside `q` or `doctype`/`transport_profile`/`host`, where the requested `sort` applies. Combining it with any other filter (`country`, `scheme`, `smp`, `ap`, `registered`, `provenance`, `entity_type`, `sector`, `size`, `region`, `postcode`, `vat_liable`) evaluates that filter against the rollup's DAILY SNAPSHOT of those participant columns, not the live row — a participant changing SMP or country is reflected here on the next rollup. Those combinations report an exact `meta.filter_count` (`filter_count_source: "exact"`); adding `q` or an endpoint filter falls back to the bounded count. |
| registered | boolean | no | Filter by current SML registration state. |
| provenance | array | no | Comma-array of provenance values. |
| entity_type | array | no | Comma-array of company legal-form families (`company`,`natural_person`,`association`,`public`), from the company-register enrichment denormalized onto the participant. |
| sector | array | no | Comma-array of 2-digit NACE divisions (`47,62`). |
| size | array | no | Comma-array of company size classes (as stored; SIRENE only). |
| region | array | no | Comma-array of company seat region codes (`BE-BRU,BE-VLG`). |
| postcode | array | no | Comma-array of company seat postcodes. |
| vat_liable | boolean | no | Filter by company VAT-liable / mandate-scope flag. |
| q | string | no | Smart search: `scheme::value`/bare value → ID lookup; else name-contains. |
| limit | integer | no | Page size, clamped to [1, 200]. Defaults to 50. |
| cursor | string | no | Opaque pagination cursor returned as `next_cursor` by the previous page. |
