API calls which end in /grid, with the exception of , have a common set of parameters:
start First entry to include. Default is the first (0).
limit Number of entries to include. Default is 50 - use a large number to get all.
filter A JSON object describing the filter(s) to be applied. See Grid Filters below for syntax.
sort Name of the field to sort the records by. A case-sensitive sort is used.
dir if sort is specified then dir=desc produces a reverse sort.

Boolean values must be specified as "0" or "1" (NOT "true" or "false"). A (case-insensitive) regular expression match is used for strings.
The "intsplit" field is used for integer variables which are used to store a quotient and remainder, and defines how the bits of the variable are allocated.
Multiple filters can be applied to a query ONLY if they refer to different fields, so for example it is not possible to query for EPG events having start times between two values.
meta If > 0 an extra data structure is output, mostly related to the format of the GUI screen where the information is presented. Default is 0.
list This parameter selects which items in the params array are to be output, based on the value of the 'id' field. Multiple entries can be selected, separated by commas, colons or semicolons. A '-' in front of an entry deselects that item (and implicitly selects all others).
