 Hello Jamie

I'm doing a very simple python 3 Script to query the activate inventory.

The problem is that the server is ignoring the body json filters, although URL filters are working.

According to the doc, I wrote the code below.

Json body filter is completely ignored, and if I omit the URL filter the response is so big I get HTTP 504.

Everything is working but the body Mac device filter.

Could you give a hand?

Thank you very much
