• id, optional

  It specifies the site ID. Data type: integer.

• parent-id, optional

  If specified, the filter matches only sites that are associated with a subscription that has a particular ID. Data type: integer.

• parent-site-id, optional

  If specified, the filter matches only sites that are subdomains of a domain that has a particular ID. Data type: integer.

• name, optional

  It specifies a site name. Data type: string.

• parent-name, optional

  If specified, the filter matches only sites that are associated with a subscription that has a particular name. Data type: string.

• parent-site-name, optional

  If specified, the filter matches only sites that are subdomains of a domain that has a particular name. Data type: string.

  Note: For details on GUIDs, refer to the XML API Protocol > GUIDs Overview.
