Finding the Content Items in a Content Set

Problem

You want to obtain a list of all the previously created Content Items contained within a specific Content Set potentially for use in a Job Creation operation.

Solution

The solution is to create a request using the following URI and method type and submit it to the server via the Content Set Entity REST service:

Get Content Items for Content Set

/rest/serverengine/entity/contentsets/{contentSetId}

GET

Example

            </fieldset>
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

JavaScript/jQuery

cse-get-contentitems.js

/* Content Set Entity Service - Get Content Items for Content Set Example */
(function ($, c) {
    "use strict";
    $(function () {

        c.setupExample();

        $("form").on("submit", function (event) {

            event.preventDefault();
            if (!c.checkSessionValid()) return;

            var contentSetId = $("#contentset").val();

            $.ajax({
                type:   "GET",
                url:    "/rest/serverengine/entity/contentsets/" + contentSetId
            })
                .done(function (response) {
                    c.displayStatus("Request Successful");
                    c.displayHeading("Content Item IDs for Content Set '" + contentSetId + "'");
                    c.displaySubResult("Plain", c.jsonContentItemIDListToTable(response));
                    c.displaySubResult("JSON Content Item Identifier List", c.jsonPrettyPrint(response));
                })
                .fail(c.displayDefaultFailure);
        });
    });
}(jQuery, Common));

Usage

To run the example simply enter the Content Set ID and select the Submit button to request a list of the all the content items contained within the specific content set in the server.

The resulting list will then be returned as a list of Content Item and Data Record ID pairs which will be displayed to the Results area in both Plain table and JSON Content Item Identifier List formats.
