Hi, does anyone know what query to use to filter graph result in CMS 13 by the below?

Application
Ancestor

In CMS 12, we were able to filter by SiteId and Ancestor, but I can't seem to find how in the CMS 13 version.
https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/content-management-system/v13.0.0-CMS/docs/filtering

If it is not supported, any advice on how we can work around it is appreciated.

we are on version 13.1.0

Thank you

Hi Fithrathur,

In CMS 13, SiteId and SiteDefinition are no longer part of the Optimizely Graph schema. The equivalent way to scope the query to an application/site is to filter using _metadata.url.base. Optimizely documents this specifically as the CMS 13 replacement for SiteId.

For ancestor filtering, CMS 13 exposes the hierarchy through _metadata.path. The path array contains the keys of the content item’s containers/ancestors, so you can filter it using the ancestor content GUID/key.

Refer the below link. CMS 13 comparison documentation: the Graph schema migration guide explains both the removal of SiteId and the new _metadata.path hierarchy
