Using REST endpoints in WCS 12.2.1.1

Asciazza

Hello,

Using WCS 12.2.1.1 I'm trying to use REST resources with little success.

calling /sites/REST/resources/v1/search/assets gets me 0 records

calling /sites/REST/resources/v1/aggregates/{siteName}/{assetType}/{assetId} gets me an error saying "asset type xxx can not be found in Content Server"

Anyone could give me an hint on what's happening? Maybe I need to configure something before calling REST endpoints?

Thanks

You would have to enable Lucene indexes for the REST point to work. REST API uses lucene indexes. Enable Lucene indexes for the assettype which you want to search from Admin UI.

Can you be more specific with your REST requests? Please show complete requests without placeholders? Also please advise which user you are logged in as when hitting the url?

After i enabled asset type search it seems to work, only global search was enabled for the asset type i needed.

What's the difference between global search and asset type search?

Thanks

AssetType is just searching against the particular content types - each lucene index is JUST that asset type (though there are ways to follow relationships thru the REST api)

Global is all the info thrown into a single index (but it does not contain all of the attributes that are possible to index and retrieve)
