How do you retrieve more data, or filter from a Qlik extension?

I have an AngularJS Qlik Sense extension, and it has a Qlik data cube. 

My questions are:

  1. How do I tell it to retrieve the entire data set instead of just the "height"?
  2. Can I tell it to filter the data on the server, and get just the filtered results back?

Thanks.

1) You can use the getData method on the BackendApi to fetch additional pages of data.
getData method ‒ Qlik Sense

2) You can use the Field API to select a data point in the app which will filter the underlying data model and refresh all objects and data cubes. This will also trigger a re-validation of your object.
selectValues method ‒ Qlik Sense

2.5) If you don't want to filter the entire data model you probably want to incorporate Set Analysis in your expression.
