Example Response

{
   "Info":
       {"Error":"","DataSource":"aviationevents.cube","DataSourceType":"cube"},
   "Result":
       {"Filters":
          [
           {"caption":"Year","value":"[EventDateD].[H1].[Year]","type":"year"},
           {"caption":"Month","value":"[EventDateD].[H1].[Month]","type":""},
           {"caption":"Day","value":"[EventDateD].[H1].[Day]","type":""}
           ...]
       }
}

In the response object, the Result property contains a property called Filters, which contains an array of objects, one for each filter. Each object has the following properties:

caption contains the display value for the filter.
type contains the filter type, if it exists. This can be "calc" or can be the name of a time function. In other cases it is empty.
value contains the filter specification, which is the logical identifier for the filter. For information on the filter specification, see POST /Info/FilterMembers/:datasource/:filterSpec.

For information that applies to all response objects, see the discussion at the start of this reference.
