I have an interface publicly opened and I want to update it by filtering with the URL (this is doable with the shareable views).

For example this interface :

https://airtable.com/embed/appE1Q6NEEScM3NhW/shrznzikatF5FzmKW

...becomes...

https://airtable.com/embed/appE1Q6NEEScM3NhW/shrznzikatF5FzmKW?filterContains_variable=X

and it will only display the records matching the variable X?

Is it possible (it is possible with shareable views).

Kind of!  In a public interface, apply the filter you'd like.  Once you do that the URL should update from this:

https://airtable.com/app1s7V0PEHgRIAa/shrPHdReaHc5co

to something like this:

https://airtable.com/app1s7V0PEHgRIAa/shrPHdReaHc5co?KglXD=b%3AWzAsWyJraDZkOSIsMTEsIjEiXV0

 And that link will now have the filter you've selected applied

Keep in mind that while this technique works, it should only be used for convenience, not for security purposes. Users can still alter the url to remove the filter and see all the shared data.
