Hi there, how can I get only the active officers list? Currently, whether to use ‘register\_type’ and ‘register\_view’ or not, the result is all officers?

Can I second this request please.

Currently the list officers endpoint returns active and resigned officers. To get a list of active officers requires pagination because there could be more than 100 resigned officers/LLP members. But its very unusual for a company to have 100 active directors (100 is the page size limit).

So it would be very useful (and reduce unnecessary request traffic) if we could filter by active officers on the REST API.

Yeah, there should be a filter or Officer status field like status:active  
I just found Company House forum to find the officers and there we can filter the Active officers

> **[HOUSING IMPACT LIMITED people - Find and update company information - GOV.UK](https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04470287/officers)**

How they are filtering the officers, any thought on this?
