# Add values to a global filter list

> Append values to one org-wide filter list, merged server-side against the committed row so concurrent callers converge instead of overwriting each other. Values already on the list are skipped silently; values already in the mutually-exclusive counterpart list (`negativeSubreddits` ↔ `positiveSubreddits`) are refused and reported under `dropped`. Returns 409 `FILTER_WRITE_CONFLICT` only if the row stays contended across every retry.



## OpenAPI

````yaml https://app.octolens.com/api/v2/openapi.json post /api/v2/filters/global/add
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Octolens API
  version: 2.0.0
  description: >-
    The Octolens API lets you query mentions, manage keywords, and configure
    feeds programmatically. Every action available in the Octolens UI is
    available here.


    ### Authentication


    All v2 endpoints require an API key. Create one in **Settings > API** and
    pass it as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. Keys are scoped to the
    organization they were minted in; you cannot access another org's data.


    API keys carry a scope — `read`, `write` (implies read), or `admin` (implies
    write). Each endpoint documents the scope it needs via the
    `x-required-scope` OpenAPI extension and the scope badge in the docs
    surface.


    ### Rate limiting


    The v2 API is rate-limited at **500 requests per hour per organization**,
    across all keys for that org. The limit resets at the top of each clock hour
    (fixed hourly window — the counter is keyed by the UTC hour bucket, not a
    rolling trailing hour).


    Every 2xx response carries three headers so clients can pace themselves:

    * `X-RateLimit-Limit` — the hourly cap (500)

    * `X-RateLimit-Remaining` — requests left in the current window

    * `X-RateLimit-Reset` — Unix timestamp (seconds) when the window resets


    When the cap is hit, the endpoint returns **429 Rate Limited** with an
    additional `Retry-After` header (seconds until the next window). The
    response body is the standard `ErrorResponse` with `code: "RATE_LIMITED"`.


    ### Response timing


    Every response also carries a standard `Server-Timing` header with the
    server-side breakdown of that request — `auth` (credential verification,
    plan gate and rate limiting), `handler` (the endpoint's own work) and
    `total`, in milliseconds. Use it to tell whether a slow call was spent in
    the API's request pipeline, in the query behind the endpoint, or on the
    network in between; browsers surface it automatically in devtools. Responses
    rejected before the endpoint ran carry `auth` and `total` only, and an
    endpoint may publish extra metrics of its own alongside these three — parse
    the header as a list, not as a fixed triple.


    ### Error handling


    All non-2xx responses share the same `ErrorResponse` envelope: `{ error: {
    code, message, status, details? } }`. The `code` field is a stable
    `ApiErrorCode` enum — branch on it programmatically instead of parsing
    `message`. See the `ApiErrorCode` schema for the full catalog grouped by
    category.


    `VALIDATION_ERROR` (400) responses include a `details` array with per-field
    Zod issues — inspect `details[i].path` to pinpoint which input was rejected.


    ### Building filter bodies


    Endpoints that accept `simpleFilters` / `advancedFilters` (e.g. `POST
    /api/v2/mentions`, `PATCH /api/v2/feeds/{id}`) take a structured object that
    can be tricky to hand-craft. If you just have a natural-language description
    of what you want ("negative posts about pricing on reddit in the last
    week"), call `POST /api/v2/ai/filter-wizard` with that prompt and it will
    return a ready-to-use filter object you can pass straight through.

    ApiErrorCode:
      description: >-
        Stable, machine-readable error code. Grouped as follows:


        **Auth / request shape** — `UNAUTHORIZED` (401), `FORBIDDEN` (403),
        `RATE_LIMITED` (429), `VALIDATION_ERROR` (400 — response carries a
        `details` array with Zod issues), `INTERNAL_ERROR` (500).


        **Agency master-key org selection** — `ORGANIZATION_REQUIRED` (400 — an
        agency master key must pass the `x-octolens-organization-id` header to
        select a target workspace), `FORBIDDEN_ORGANIZATION` (403 — the
        requested organization does not belong to the key's agency).


        **Plan / quota walls** — `UPGRADE_REQUIRED` (403 — an Agents-plan wall:
        a cap was hit (the lifetime search allowance or the monthly mention
        quota), or the endpoint is not part of the Agents plan at all — on that
        plan only search, org/usage/auth introspection, the upgrade link and
        monitoring recommendations are available, and every other endpoint
        answers this code before validating input; the envelope carries two
        ADDITIVE fields alongside the standard three, `upgradeUrl` (the upgrade
        page) and `upgradeCommand` (`octolens upgrade`, which mints a single-use
        authenticated link into that page), so an agent gets an actionable next
        step, not just prose), `QUOTA_EXCEEDED` (402 — the monthly mention quota
        is exhausted on a non-Agents plan; enable flex pricing or upgrade). The
        search routes also send `X-Octolens-Searches-Remaining` /
        `X-Octolens-Mentions-Remaining` response headers on success so clients
        can self-throttle before either wall.


        **Not found (404)** — generic `NOT_FOUND` plus domain-specific variants:
        `FEED_NOT_FOUND`, `KEYWORD_NOT_FOUND`, `KEYWORDS_NOT_FOUND`,
        `POST_NOT_FOUND`, `MENTION_NOT_FOUND`, `SUMMARY_NOT_FOUND`,
        `SEARCH_NOT_FOUND`, `SUGGESTION_NOT_FOUND`, `COMPANY_NOT_FOUND`,
        `ORG_NOT_FOUND`, `SETTINGS_NOT_FOUND`, `NOTIFICATION_NOT_FOUND`,
        `VIEW_NOT_FOUND`, `ALERT_NOT_FOUND`. A resource id that exists but
        belongs to another workspace answers the SAME not-found as an unused id
        — existence is never leaked across tenants.


        **Authorization (403)** — generic `FORBIDDEN` (the caller is not
        permitted to perform the operation, e.g. insufficient API-key scope).
        There are deliberately NO per-resource 403 codes: cross-workspace access
        reads as the resource's 404.


        **Business-rule violations (400)** — `INVALID_INPUT` (semantically
        invalid arguments), `KEYWORD_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` (plan cap hit),
        `LAST_ADMIN` (refuses to remove the only admin), `ITEM_EXISTS`
        (duplicate), `INVALID_DOMAIN`, `INVALID_TIMEZONE`, `SLACK_NOT_CONNECTED`
        / `SLACK_CHANNEL_NOT_FOUND` / `SLACK_CHANNEL_REQUIRED` (Slack
        destination validation), `WEBHOOK_URL_INVALID` (webhook URL rejected),
        `NO_DESTINATIONS` / `NO_SAMPLE_MENTION` (notification test delivery
        preconditions), `INVALID_DESTINATION` (a destination is
        missing/mismatched its type-specific sub-object, or two share a type) /
        `DESTINATION_INDEX_OUT_OF_RANGE` (feed destination index).


        **Operation failures (500)** — `ENGAGE_FAILED` /
        `RELEVANCE_UPDATE_FAILED` carry a specific code so clients can
        distinguish a failed mutation from a generic `INTERNAL_ERROR`.
