Response Type

ModifiedItemsResult

Notes

Tags need to be added to the system first before applying them to items. Use this method to add them, then use 'addTagToItem' to apply to a content item.

Examples

ClosedContent and Tag Operations (JavaScript):

This example demonstrates how to find item's and the manipulation of content tags.

The example uses API authentication driven from JavaScript. See Authentication APIs for alternatives.

// URL of the Pyramid installation and the path to the API 3.0 REST methods
var pyramidURL = "http://mysite.com/api3/";


// step 1: authenticate admin account and get token
// NOTE: callApi method is a generic REST method shown below.
let token = callApi("authentication/authenticateUser",{
	"userName":"adminUser",
	"password":"abc123!"
},"",false);

//step 2: add a tag to the system
let addedTag = callApi("content/addTag",{
	"tagDescription":tagName,
	"tagType":0
},token);

let tagId = addedTag.modifiedList[0].id;

//step 2: find/search for a Discover item called "sales figures"
let dataDiscovery = callApi("content/findContentItem",{
	"searchString": "sales figures",
	"filterTypes": [3],
	"searchMatchType": 2,
	"searchRootFolderType":0
},token // admin token generated above
);


let itemId = dataDiscovery[0].id;

//step 3: bind the new tag to this report
let itemIds = callApi("content/addTagToItem ",{
	"itemId":itemId,
	"tagId":tagId
},token);


//step 4: get a specific tag object using its tag id
let getTag = callApi("content/getTagData",tagId ,token)


//step 5: remove the tag from a specific content item
let removeTagFromItem = callApi("content/removeTagFromItem",{
	"itemId":itemId,
	"tagId":tagId
},token);

//step 6: delete the tag
let deleteTag = callApi("content/deleteTag",tagId, token);

//step 7: permanently delete the content item
let purgeContentItems = callApi("content/purgeContentItems",[folderCreation.modifiedList[0].id],token);



// ##### optional generic logging method for debugging ##############
function log(msg){
	document.write(msg);
	console.log(msg);
}

// ##### generic REST API calling method ##############
function callApi(path,data,token="",parseResult=true){
	var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
	xhttp.open("POST", pyramidURL+path, false);
	xhttp.setRequestHeader("paToken",token)
	xhttp.send(JSON.stringify(data));
	if(parseResult){
		return JSON.parse(xhttp.responseText);
	}else{
		return xhttp.responseText;
	}
}
