# MOST\_COMMON\_VALUES\_INSTRUCTION

## Overview

*This method returns the most common instruction values based on the given argument path and an optional robust filter object. There are many types of filters you can apply and you can find information regarding those in the* [*Filters*](/carpool/api-reference/filters.md) *section of the docs.*

[Carpool\_dev-MOST\_COMMON\_VALUES\_INSTRUCTION-0.1-resolved.json](https://2513171703-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FE1gzfwcjB542lI2VR9XI%2Fuploads%2F2F1YRTAWji56Ki8YzuHQ%2FCarpool_dev-MOST_COMMON_VALUES_INSTRUCTION-0.1-resolved.json?alt=media\&token=acc0a231-4e78-430a-8300-38b96449ad59)
{% endopenapi %}

## Filters

As mentioned above, the api definition here implements an optional filter object. All queries that accept a filter object in the POST body can make use of **any** of the potential filters. Please see the Instruction Filters section of the documentation to better understand how they are implemented for instruction queries.

## Example - Basic

**Program** - *Candy Machine*

**Description** *- Return the most common values for argument* data.creators.percentageShare. Default to 5 returned values.

#### Javascript

```javascript
var myHeaders = new Headers();
myHeaders.append("x-api-key", "<API_KEY>");
myHeaders.append("Content-Type", "application/json");

var raw = JSON.stringify({
  "type": "MOST_COMMON_VALUES_INSTRUCTION",
  "query": {
    "programId": "CndyV3LdqHUfDLmE5naZjVN8rBZz4tqhdefbAnjHG3JR",
    "path": "data.creators.percentageShare"
  }
});

var requestOptions = {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: myHeaders,
  body: raw,
  redirect: 'follow'
};

fetch("https://mainnet.carpool.dev/query/solana", requestOptions)
  .then(response => response.text())
  .then(result => console.log(result))
  .catch(error => console.log('error', error));
```

#### cURL

```
curl --location 'https://mainnet.carpool.dev/query/solana' \
--header 'x-api-key: <API_KEY>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "type": "MOST_COMMON_VALUES_INSTRUCTION",
    "query": {
        "programId": "CndyV3LdqHUfDLmE5naZjVN8rBZz4tqhdefbAnjHG3JR",
        "path": "data.creators.percentageShare"
    }
}'
```

## Example - Advanced

**Program** - *Candy Machine*

**Description** *- Return the 10 most common values for argument* data.creators.percentageShare. Filter for only instructions that have "metaqbxxUerdq28cj1RbAWkYQm3ybzjb6a8bt518x1s" within their logs and they must be in the set time range.

#### Javascript

```javascript
var myHeaders = new Headers();
myHeaders.append("x-api-key", "<API_KEY>");
myHeaders.append("Content-Type", "application/json");

var raw = JSON.stringify({
  "type": "MOST_COMMON_VALUES_INSTRUCTION",
  "query": {
    "programId": "CndyV3LdqHUfDLmE5naZjVN8rBZz4tqhdefbAnjHG3JR",
    "path": "data.creators.percentageShare",
    "limit": "10",

      "after": "2023-07-11T22:53:09+0000"
    }
  }
});

var requestOptions = {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: myHeaders,
  body: raw,
  redirect: 'follow'
};

fetch("https://mainnet.carpool.dev/query/solana", requestOptions)
  .then(response => response.text())
