[SOLVED] RestApi endpoint for 'UID'

espenmn · July 20, 2023, 3:21pm

Is there a restApi endpoint I can use to get (a richtext field of a ) content item if I have the UID ?

Similar to plone.api.content.get( UID=Something )

UPDATE; It is OK to get the text without any markup, if that is an option.

You can fetch /resolveuid/UID to get a redirect to the content item's current path, and then get /++api++/path/to/item to get that item's REST API representation.

Thanks. I hoped there was something 'more direct'.

My current approach is to search for all and slice the result. Works, but does not feel 'optimal'. I tested a (jQuery) script, and it seems to work:

$('#form-widgets-related_sow_section').on( "change", function() {
if ($( this ).val() != '--NOVALUE--' )     {
  $searchval = $('body').attr("data-portal-url") + '/@search?fullobjects=1&UID='+ $( this ).val() ;

  $.ajax({
    url: $searchval,
    contentType: "application/json",
    dataType: 'json',
    headers: {'Accept': 'application/json'},
    success: function(result){
      //console.log(result.items[0]);
      $('#sow_text_add').remove();
      $( "#formfield-form-widgets-related_sow_section").append('<div id="sow_text_add">' + result.items[0].bodytext.data + '</div>');
    }
  })

}

To me, searching by UID and returning fullobjects sounds like a reasonable way to do it.

Be careful: The RESTAPI has an unfixed bug that affects richtext fields of whatever mime_type. If your content uses mime_types other than html the RESTAPI is unusable until this bug is fixed:

richttext fields set to `text/x-web-markdown` return HTML

01 type: bug 21 status: confirmed

The REST API returns the HTML-Version of richttext fields even if the `content-t…ype` is set to `text/x-web-markdown`. I'd expect the stored markdown version (`value.raw`) to be returned. We send: ```json "text": { "content-type": "text/x-web-markdown", "data": "xyz **bold** normal", "encoding": "utf8" } ``` We get: ```json "text": { "content-type": "text/x-web-markdown", "data": "xyz bold normal", "encoding": "utf8" } ``` **To reproduce it:** ```shell SITE_URL=https://6-classic.demo.plone.org USER=manager:**** # <- set manager password here cat <<EOF | tee config_markup.json { "allowed_types": [ {"title":"text/html","token": "text/html"}, {"title": "text/x-web-markdown","token": "text/x-web-markdown"}, {"title": "text/x-web-textile","token": "text/x-web-textile"} ], "default_type": {"title":"text/html","token": "text/html"}, "markdown_extensions":[ "markdown.extensions.fenced_code", "markdown.extensions.footnotes", "markdown.extensions.tables" ] } EOF curl -i -X PATCH "${SITE_URL}/@controlpanels/markup" \ -H "Accept: application/json" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data-binary "@my_document.json" \ --user ${USER} cat <<EOF | tee my_document.json { "@type": "Document", "title": "MyDocument", "text": { "content-type": "text/x-web-markdown", "data": "xyz **bold** normal", "encoding": "utf8" } } EOF ID=$( curl -s -X POST "${SITE_URL}" \ -H "Accept: application/json" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data-binary "@my_document.json" \ --user ${USER} \ | jq -r '."@id"' \ ) echo $ID curl -s -X GET "${ID}" \ -H "Accept: application/json" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --user ${USER} \ | jq -r '."text"' ``` It returns ```json ... "text": { "content-type": "text/x-web-markdown", "data": "xyz bold normal", "encoding": "utf8" } ... ```
