Box Endpoints

Search

1min

Link Enterprise provides a web service endpoint that will allow you to retrieve a subset of documents/folders based on a search criteria. Link Enterprise supports two types of search within box. One using metadata filters and another using metadata queries (real-time).

To enable or disable metadata queries (real-time search) you can do so within the Link Enterprise configurator interface.

We are providing below an example of both a metadata filter example (with search query disabled in the configurator), and a metadata query example (with search query enabled in the configurator).

Search for all documents using a where clause. If succesfull will return a JSON Array with a size greater then or equal to zero with status code of 200. Otherwise status code 500 is returned. Precondition: insertName.searchQueryEnabled=true (located in inifile)
