topic update content properties through REST API in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/update-content-properties-through-rest-api/m-p/277791#M230921 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I try to update the properties (title, description, …) through the REST API but I do not succeed.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>With a cmis client it works fine but I do not want to add the apache chemistry jar's to my project. I prefer doing all the manipulations (login, search, retrieve, update) through the rest api. I also prefer doing all the data exchange with json format and not with xml. (like the result of a search 'alfresco/service/api/search' )</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I managed to get quite a lot to do without adding cmis jar's to my project but updating the properties of a content requires according to the documentation an atomentry which is an xml content.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I can generate this xml content by hand but it is quite noisy and when I have to do that I can alos include the jar's which generate it for me.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is there a way in alfresco (4.1 or 4.2) to do all the manipulations through the REST API with JSON ? If so how (mainly for updating the properties) ?&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Here is what I managed to get to work</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>alfresco/service/api/login -&gt; get Login token = JSON : perfect</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>alfresco/service/api/search/keyword.atom -&gt; get search result : XML <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":disappointed_face:">😞</span></SPAN><BR /><SPAN>alfresco/service/api/node/content/workspace/SpacesStore/538653c7…….. -&gt; get content = DATA : perfect</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>alfresco/service/api/metadata -&gt; get Properties = JSON : perfect</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>alfresco/service/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/53865….. -&gt; put of new properties : XML atomentry <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":disappointed_face:">😞</span></SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I tried to update the metadata through the 'Node Metadata Storage Service' service (POST /alfresco/service/api/metadata/node/{store_type}/{store_id}/{id}) which sends me back a 'successfull' in JSON format, but the properties are not modified in alfresco.
