   I've managed to use the filter. What helped me was to use the StrongLoop API Explorer https://api.openframe.io/explorer which showed me the current data model of artworks:

   {
     "title": "string",
     "description": "string",
     "is_public": false,
     "url": "string",
     "thumb_url": "string",
     "author_name": "string",
     "required_extensions": {},
     "format": "string",
     "options": {},
     "id": "string",
     "ownerId": "string",
     "created": "$now",
     "modified": "$now"
   }
   

   Before, I was using username a field which doesn't exist. There is author_name, but it contains what is called Full name in the web app.

   Instead, I'm now using ownerId:

   let filter = {
     limit: 0,                                
     where: {                                 
       ownerId : '5d51eb67a38167076035bca6'                          
     }
   }
   

   … the ownerId is returned by OF.users.login(). It also returns a token which you can then use in the StrongLoop API Explorer to get access to your private data and write permissions.

   I think this is handy information and it should be added/updated in the JSclient docs. The filter and artwork models shown in sections Filtering queries and Fetch a list of Artworks are not up to date.
