`POST /inventory/item-types/search`

Read-only: A read that takes its filters in the body. Changes nothing, and ignores Idempotency-Key.

Searches item types. The filters go in the request body. The fields are the same as on GET inventory/item-types/:id, including itemCount.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `Api-Version` | header | string · v1 | yes | The API version this request targets, named by its public identifier. Required on every request; omitting it, or naming a version this company does not have, is answered with 400. This document describes version `v1`. |

## Request body

Required, `application/json`: searchItemTypesInput.

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `filters` | object | yes | The filters to apply. An item type must match every filter you send. Send an empty object to return all item types. Example: `{"stockable":false}`. |
| `filters.name` | string | no | Limits results to the item type with this name. The match is exact. Names are unique, so this matches at most one item type. |
| `filters.procurable` | boolean | no | Limits results to item types with the given procurable value. |
| `filters.stockable` | boolean | no | Limits results to item types with the given stockable value. |
| `filters.active` | boolean | no | Limits results to item types with the given active value. |
| `filters.modifiedSince` | date-time | no | Limits results to item types changed on or after this time. Format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ. |
| `page` | object | no | The pagination controls. Omit for the first page. |
| `page.cursor` | string | no | The cursor from the previous response's pagination.nextCursor. Omit for the first page. |
| `page.size` | number | no | The number of item types per page. Defaults to 50. A value above 200 is treated as 200, not rejected. |
