Uploading files using RESTful

[elimarcos]

Hi,

I am using the following approach to perform uploading files to the Alfresco repository:

URL: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/upload/?alf_ticket = {User's ticket}
parameters: [filedata, filename, description, siteid, containerId]
‍‍‍‍

However, this approach does not allow me to insert files in specific subdirectories.

I need to perform file uploads via RESTful api using the uuid of the target folder.

Does anyone have any tips how to do this?

Alfresco Version: 4.2.c

ps. Sorry for my english!

Grateful.

What API do you recommend?

I want to create a folder in PHP.

Sorry, I thought you were using the same API as Elimacros. The API you are trying to use seems to me that should be the right one but after glancing over it seems to me that it might only support CMIS requests, not JSON requests.

So you can make your own API or just use the FormProcessor API as Share does.

Hey,

I've changed now to RESTful API.

I'd like to upload my files with REST API, but now I'm facing an other problem.
This is my URL:

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/upload
‍‍‍

An this is my PHP code:

$json = ('
        {
            "filename":"HAHA.PDF",
            "destination":"workspace://SpacesStore/'.$parentID.'",
            "filedata":"'.$file.'"
        }
    ');
    $curl = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: application/json"));
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC) ;
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "admin:admin"); 
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $submit_url);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 

    $rs = curl_exec($curl);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Every time i execute my script, i receive an Error -> Error 500

best regards

pyt, did you finally get the answer to your question? I'm at the beginning of the process of attempting to upload images to Alfresco using xml files from the client. I'm also using PHP. What ended up working for you?

Request type should be multipart/formdata as far as the webscript for the upload api is concerned.

I'm also still struggling to crack this issue, if you have already found how to do this in PHP, can you please mention that?

I'm using RESTful API. Can I use

siteid‍

,

containerid‍

,

uploaddirectory‍

to upload a file to a specific site directory inside

documentLibrary‍

? It does not work… These are the values I use:

siteid = "repo",
containerid = "documentLibrary",
uploaddirectory = "raps"
‍‍‍‍‍

The files upload succesfully but it ignores the

uploaddirectory‍

param so I find them under

repo/documentLibrary‍

instead of

repo/documentLibrary/raps‍

.
Is it my fault? I don't use

destination‍

param.

I really don't know why but I found that to upload to a specific directory I have to give the uploaddirectory parameter with '/' at first and last char of the string. I mean:
<ol>
<li>"dir" won't work</li>
<li>"/dir" won't work</li>
<li>"dir/" won't work</li>
<li>"/dir/" works!</li>
</ol>

This is my code.
<java>
    // using httpclient-4.5
   
    Path filePath = Paths.get("C:/afile.txt");
    String ticket = getTicket();  //  get a ticket via /alfresco/service/api/login…

    CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.createDefault();
    HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/upload?alf_ticket=" + ticket);
    MultipartEntityBuilder entity = MultipartEntityBuilder.create();
   
    StringBody descriptionBody = new StringBody("a test", ContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);
    StringBody siteId = new StringBody("company_home", ContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);    //  how can upload the file
    StringBody containerid = new StringBody("/Shared", ContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);    //  in the shared folder??

    entity.addBinaryBody("filedata", filePath.toFile());
    entity.addPart("siteid", siteId);
    entity.addPart("containerid", containerid);

    post.setEntity(entity.build());
      
    CloseableHttpResponse postResponse = client.execute(post);
