REST API - adding a document with category

Peter Forsbom

Hi

I have some code to create a document and it is working fine. I also have code to add/update Categories. But I run into a problem if I try to add a document to a folder that has categories with mandatory attributes. I need to add the document with category information in the same REST API call. I have been at this all day but I can not seem to create a call that will add the document AND category in one go.

C# code using HttpClient appreciated :-)

Hi Peter,

 

Please navigate to the link in KC : https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll?func=ll&objId=67789539&objAction=browse

 

It has clear information on how to create objects with category assigned in single call.

 

 

 

Click on the ‘+’ icon.

 

In this case you need to use Body Parameter and send all relevant data in Body Parameter.

 

V1 example to create a node with this category

       Syntax

       - POST api/v1/nodes

       - body = {"name":"myName","parent_id":2000,"type":0,"roles":{"categories":{"[category_id]":{"[category_id]_[attribute_id]":["value 1", "value 2", "value 3", ....]}}}}

 

       Example:

       - Post api/v1/nodes

       - body = {"name":"myName","parent_id":2000,"type":0,"roles":{"categories":{"15847":{"15847_3":["test1","test2","test3"]}}}}

 

V2 example to create a node with this category

       Syntax

       - POST api/v2/nodes

       - body = {"name":"myName","parent_id":2000,"type":0,"roles":{"categories":{"[category_id]_[attribute_id]":["value 1", "value 2", "value 3", ....]}}}

 

       Example:

       - Post api/v2/nodes

       - body = {"name":"myName","parent_id":2000,"type":0,"roles":{"categories":{"15847_5":["test1","test2","test3"]}}}

 

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Rakesh.
