Good day
Is there a way to retrieve a list all the defined properties and aspects from the Alfresco repository?
Appreciate the help in advance.

Try this REST API if suits your requirements:
GET /alfresco/service/api/dictionary
http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/service/api/dictionary
GET /alfresco/s/api/defclasses
http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/s/api/defclasses
GET /alfresco/service/api/classes/{className}
http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/service/api/classes/cm_content (type) http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/service/api/classes/cm_auditable (aspect)
For a specific node:
Example:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/service/api/properties?nodeRef=workspace://SpacesStore/1c76d9a6-8d01-...

Hi @OomStephan,
To retrieve aspects, take a look at this API documentation - although this method will depend on how old your Alfresco instance is. For Alfresco 5,2+ the API call will be something like the following:
'http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/-root-/children?include=aspectNames&skipCount=0&maxItems=100'
For the properties, something like this:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/-root-/children?include=aspectNames,properties&skipCount=0&maxItems=100'

Hi Eddie
Thanks for the reply, I am aware of the documentation you linked. However, does this not retrieve the aspects/properties for the specific node?
My use case is that I would like to retrieve all available defined aspects/properties and display them to my user, so that the user can decide what properties he would like to add.
Thanks in advance.

Just to add to the above, is there an endpoint that does not require a nodeId as parameter and instead returns all available aspects and/or properties that can be applied to a node, both system and custom aspects?

Hi @OomStephan,
I presume you've looked at NodeService? There is a discussion here about using it.
