Retrieve custom fields via Alfresco 5.2 search API

We are using Alfresco Community Edition 5.2. We are building a front-end layer on top of Alfresco for searching and downloading documents. For searching, we are using the POST Search RESTful API available in v5.2.We are also creating a custom field for 'Creation Date', since we want to show the date

If you can share the exact URL you are POSTing to that would be helpful.

In general, you should be getting back node references which you can then use to get all of the properties.

If you want to get properties back that are not included in the out-of-the-box search response, you can either extend the web script to include your custom properties in the response or you can implement your own search end point using a custom web script and return exactly what you need.

Hi Sanket,

Have you tried setting "include": ["properties"] ?

You can use the include JSON body parameter to return additional information. This works in the same way as in the /nodes/{nodeId}/children method in the core API. For example:

"include": ["aspectNames", "properties", "isLink"]

Regards,

Jan
