Alfresco API Doucment Upload

eddiesmith — Fri, 03 Mar 2023 17:21:31 GMT

Hi I am new to alfresco and not sure if I am looking in the right place but I'm not able to find a way to upload a local document to a folder in alfresco using Rest API calls. If you have done so before, I would appreciate the help!

Create a node as child of the folder using the POST /nodes/{nodeId}/children

Update binary content using the PUT /nodes/{nodeId}

If you have api explorer installed go to http://<your_alfresco_domain>/api-explorer/#/nodes.

If not, look at public one: https://api-explorer.alfresco.com/api-explorer/

Explorer have a lot of comments and could be easy understandable. The documentation is here: https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/latest/develop/rest-api-guide/

Long words short: Find nodeID of your folder. Create a document as a child in this folder by POST /nodes/{folder_nodeId}/children. If sucsess you will get json respons with new document (node) id.

Upload the content of this new document by PUT /nodes/{document_nodeId}.
