How to use multiple parameters
- Multiple instances of the same parameter type in a query can be
specified only as "OR" queries, with the following exceptions:
- Only one value allowed
- Only one instance of the following parameters can be used in a
single query. If multiple instances are used, only the first instance
is used by the query:
categoryid
dateformat
depth
page
pagesize
- "AND" queries allowed
- The following queries can be used as "AND" queries:
createdafter
createdbefore
expireafter
expirebefore
lastmodifiedafter
lastmodifiedbefore
publishafter
publishbefore
- Sort values
- Sort values are comma-separated. For example:
?sort=created_ascending,title_descending
Text Search REST API
Using the Text Search REST API
The existing search query API is extended and two new parameters are added. See REST Query service for web content and New query parameters added with HCL Digital Experience 9.5 Container Update CF_181 and higher releases for more information.
- Endpoint
- GET request to:
- Expected Body
- Body can just have the basic WCM structure:
- Expected Headers
- LTPA token of the user. Also works anonymously.
- Query Parameters
-
textcontains: Any of the words
- Return body
- The found results. Same as when calling existing query API.
Portal Access Control REST API
