## README: `filters.action` is wrong — Sync API uses `type`

[pithu]

Package: @contentstack/datasync-manager v2.2.0 (README on main has the same issue)

Problem

The README documents init sync filters like this:

filters: {
  content_type_uid: ['blogs'],
  locale: ['en-us'],
  action: ['publish', 'unpublish']
}

That does not match the Sync API or what the manager actually sends.

What actually works

Per the Sync API docs, initial sync (init=true) uses the query param type, with values like entry_published, asset_published, entry_deleted, content_type_deleted, etc. — not publish / unpublish.

The manager forwards filter keys verbatim to the API (dist/core/index.js):

request.qs[filter] = filters[filter].join(',');

So action: ['publish'] becomes ?action=publish, which the Sync API does not support. A working config looks like:

filters: {
  type: ['entry_published', 'asset_published', 'entry_deleted', 'content_type_deleted']
}

Suggested fix

• Replace action with type in the README.
• Document Sync API event type values, not store method names (publish / unpublish / delete).
• Note that filter keys are passed through as-is to Sync API query params.

We ran into this building an init sync that replays historical deletes via content_type_deleted. Happy to open a README PR if useful.
