Search COLAs
Search and filter Certificates of Label Approval with full-text search and various filters. Results are ordered by approval date (descending).
When no explicit date filters (approval_date_from, approval_date_to) are provided, results
default to the last 365 days. This applies to all queries, including text search. To search
the full historical database, pass approval_date_from explicitly (e.g., 2005-01-01).
The defaults_applied field in the response indicates when this default is active.
