There are two approaches that you can use. You can get a directory listing using Content Server REST API and then retrieve the attribute infromation. Which in most cases it is time consuming. Documentation for the REST API can be found here:

Or you can leverage the search engine REST API. Here is an example on how to accomplish this:

Good luck,

Thank you Jerome for your reply.

I was thinking about using CS REST by getting the children nodes of all documents and once I have all the node_ids of the documents, then I can get the attribute information of the document.

Yes, you are right, this is very time consuming. The same can also be achieved using CWS as it is a very mature api AND have used CWS in past. But, I would prefer to go with REST.

As you said, Search REST API may be a good candidate for my requirement.

Thanks

Hi Jerome,

In CS 16, we have CS REST APIv2 and that has REGIONS & SLICE APIs.

Can I use the SliceID or Regions api, to perform search e.g. http://hostname/OTCS/livelink.exe/api/v1/regions

If possible, could you please provide a sample. I cannot find anything in the REST API reference guide.

Thanks

Examples on how to build a search query can be found here:

Section '3.12 – slice' shows how to query a specific slice.
