The properties you can use for eq (equals) or ne (not equals) are: location, resourceType, name, resourceGroup, identity, identity/principalId, plan, plan/publisher, plan/product, plan/name, plan/version, and plan/promotionCode.

For example, to filter by a resource type, use: $filter=resourceType eq 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks'

You can use substringof(value, property) in the filter. The properties you can use for substring are: name and resourceGroup.

For example, to get all resources with 'demo' anywhere in the name, use: $filter=substringof('demo', name)

You can link more than one substringof together by adding and/or operators.

You can filter by tag names and values. For example, to filter for a tag name and value, use $filter=tagName eq 'tag1' and tagValue eq 'Value1'. When you filter by a tag name and value, the tags for each resource are not returned in the results.

You can use some properties together when filtering. The combinations you can use are: substringof and/or resourceType, plan and plan/publisher and plan/name, identity and identity/principalId." + "description": "The filter to apply on the operation.

Filter comparison operators include `eq` (equals) and `ne` (not equals) and may be used with the following properties: `location`, `resourceType`, `name`, `resourceGroup`, `identity`, `identity/principalId`, `plan`, `plan/publisher`, `plan/product`, `plan/name`, `plan/version`, and `plan/promotionCode`.

For example, to filter by a resource type, use `$filter=resourceType eq 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks'`


`substringof(value, property)` can also be used to filter for substrings of the following currently-supported properties: `name` and `resourceGroup`.

For example, to get all resources with 'demo' anywhere in the resource name, use `$filter=substringof('demo', name)`

Multiple substring operations can also be combined using `and`/`or` operators.


Resources can also be filtered by tag names and values. For example, to filter for a tag name and value, use `$filter=tagName eq 'tag1' and tagValue eq 'Value1'`. Not that when resources are filtered by tag name and value, the originals tags for each resource will not returned in the results. Any list of additional properties queried via `$expand` may also not be compatible when filtering by tag names/values. 

For tag names only, resources can also be filtered by prefix  using the following syntax: `$filter=startswith(tagName, 'depart')`. This query will return all resources with a tag name prefixed by the phrase `depart` (i.e. `department`, `departureDate`, `departureTime`, etc.)  


Lastly, some properties can be combined when filtering resources, which include the following: `substringof() and/or resourceType`, `plan and plan/publisher and plan/name`, and `identity and identity/principalId`." }, { "name": "$expand",
