Search using Web API

Goje Swathi

Hi,

I'm using CWS to do most of the functionalities in my .Net web application.

However I'm stuck with Search. I read that Web API's offer better solution compared to search CWS. But I dont find any sample working code.

Can someone help me to start off with something?

Thank you.

Hi Swathi,

You should start with the "Search API Programming Guide", https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll/open/50175777

The search and indexing forum will probably be of use too, https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll?func=ll&objId=3622528&objAction=view

I don't have any example code handy.  You should be able to use the authentication mechanism from CWS and then make Search API requests to Content Server.  Choose XML or one of the other non-HTML Search API output formats for easier parsing.
