            "mbox": "mailto:[e-mail]"
        },

Search Criteria

The actor search endpoint allows for defining a complex search criteria. The most basic request body might look like the following:

{
    criteria: {
        "=": [
            { type: "name" },
            "Stephen Smith"
        ]
    }
}

A more complex example can include nested conditions:

{
    criteria: {
        and: [
            { "=": [
                { type: "attribute", key: "Country" },
                "AU"
            ] },
            { or: [
                { "=": [
                    { type: "attribute", key: "Department" },
                    "Marketing"
                ] },
                { "!=": [
                    { type: "attribute", key: "Job Title" },
                    "*Manager"
