    -H "X-Blnk-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "filters": [
        { "field": "status", "operator": "eq", "value": "APPLIED" },
        { "field": "amount", "operator": "gte", "value": 10000 }
      ],
      "sort_by": "amount",
      "sort_order": "desc",
      "limit": 50
    }'
  ```

  ```json Response wrap theme={"system"}
  {
    "data": [
      {
        "transaction_id": "txn_abc123",
        "amount": 15000,
