Coupon API facets

[prosperent brian]

Don't forget that the coupon api also has access to the new facets. Currently the only facet that made sense to us is merchant, but with that you can group by and display coupons on a per merchant basis along with count and such.

It's in the api documentation

When I am using parameter enableFacets=true I get An unexpected error occurred.

You can see it here:

1] enableFacets=true
http://api.prosperent.com/api/coupon...r_ip=127.0.0.1

{
    "errors": [
        {
            "code": "request_invalid",
            "msg": "An unexpected error occurred"
        }
    ],
    "warnings": [ ],
    "data": "",

    "limit": 10,

}
