# Get only these columns for the account.
client.select = ["accountid", "name"]

# Filter to only the accounts that have been created on or after the
# given ISO date string, AND that have 200 or more employees.
client.filter = [
    ftr.on_or_after("createdon", "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z"),
    ftr.ge("numberofemployees", 200),
]

# Expand to the contacts (collection-values navigation property)
# on the account that have 'gmail.com' in their email address 1 OR 2.
# Get only the 'firstname', 'lastname' and 'mobilephone' columns for these contacts.
# Also expand the primary contact (single-valued navigation property).

client.expand = {
    "contact_customer_accounts": {
        "select": ["firstname", "lastname", "mobilephone"],
        "filter": {
            ftr.contains("emailaddress1", "gmail.com"),

    "primarycontactid": {
        "select": ["emailaddress1"],
    },
