REST Repository API

Hi,I'm trying to access the Alfresco repository via the REST API. Currently I have the problem that I need the ID of a folder/space to get its children or other information about this folder/space:GET /alfresco/service/api/node/{store_type}/{store_id}/{id}/children?types={types}&filter={filter?}

Hi,

This particular REST API returns the children of a given node (e.g. space). You can use GET alfresco/service/sample/folder/Company Home to list spaces with Company Home. You can modify that webscript to return the nodeRefs (nodeRef = store_type://store_id/id) for all the children.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer!

1) the return value of this call is HTML … that's not a problem but somewhat ungly
2) is this call documented somewhere in the wiki?

thanks,
Markus

These API are built using Web Scripts. You can configure multiple return formats. Read up on web scripts: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts.

You can see all the out of the box ones at http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index.
