Search Docs in a folder using REST CS v2

Hello,

I would like to use REST APT (Content Server API v2) to find all documents in a folder matching the search criteria (custom attribute value).

I know one option is to get all the children node ids and then use the document node ids of the documents in the folder to get the attribute values. But, this is not optimum solution as we may have some performance issues.

Therefore I was wondering if we can use "REST CS api v2 - Search" and get the node ids of all documents matching the search criteria.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Kumar,

Yes, you can get the IDs from search results using the CS REST API. It isn’t really documented yet, nor is it as robust as say the XML API, but perhaps it will suit your needs.

There are some details about how to use it in another forum post here:

To search against an attribute you can use syntax like:

where=Attr_20284_2:myValue
