Passing custom fields as parameters in a REST query

Question

I am creating a REST Get request using Services 3.3 module on Drupal 7.15 which should get all the nodes filtered by a custom field field_asset_type

http://sharedrive/?q=rest/node&parameters[field_asset_type]=13

It returns following error Invalid query provided, double check that the fields and parameters you defined are correct and exist. SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'field_asset_type' in 'where clause'

Kindly tell me how to resolve this problem. The articles on the internet explains how to pass built-in fields which is working but I also need to pass custom fields.

Please help

The default functionality only works with node properties, not fields. Fortunately you can use the Services Entity API module to get what you need:

Integration of Services and Entity API.

You can define an endpoint via Services and publish any entity data relying in Entity API.

This module allows to get entities by properties or fields and also paging and related entities that are defined properly.
