Extension
Since
1.0
Path

Provides access to projectdoc documents. The service allows to fetch representations by queries and by document identifiers.

Write to Supplier

 

Since version 1.2 of the projectdoc Web API Extension properties can also be written to the Document Properties Supplier Macro.

Updating existing properties checks for properties defined in any projectdoc macro. New properties, without a reference to an existing property, are written to the Document Properties Marker Macro per default.

Examples

Here are some typical scenarios using these services.

Query Documents

The API allows to execute queries similar to the Display Table Macro.

Query Request
https://username:secret@example.com/confluence/rest/api/projectdoc/1/document.xml?
  select=Name,Short%20Description&
  from=SPACEKEY&
  where=Doctype=blank

The result is a representation that provides a list of all document IDs. In this example, three documents are returned.

Returned Representation
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<documents
  id-list="753671,753673,753675"
  max-result="3"
  start-index="0"
  size="3">
  <document id="753671">
    <property>
      <name>Name</name>
      <value>Blank 1</value>
    </property>
    <property>
      <name>Short Description</name>
      <value>Short description 1.</value>
    </property>
  </document>
  <document id="753673">
    <property>
      <name>Name</name>
      <value>Blank 2</value>
    </property>
    <property>
      <name>Short Description</name>
      <value>Short description 2.</value>
    </property>
  </document>
  <document id="753675">
    <property>
      <name>Name</name>
      <value>Blank 3</value>
    </property>
    <property>
      <name>Short Description</name>
      <value>Short description 3.</value>
    </property>
  </document>
</documents>

If max-result=1 is added as parameter to the request, only the first hit in the result set is returned. Clients may then forward the id-list and select the documents to return. There are also links in the HTTP header to request the next (rel=next) or previous (rel=prev) hit.

 

If the ID list is specified in the request, no query is executed. Only the select parameter will be taken into account to select on the returned document properties.

Fetch by ID List

Once a list of document IDs is returned, the client my select documents from that list.

ID List Request
https://username:secret@example.com/confluence/rest/api/projectdoc/1/document.xml?
  select=Name,Short%20Description&
  id-list=753671,753673,753675&
  max-result=1&
  start-index=1

With this request, the document with ID 753673 is returned.

Returned Representation
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<documents
  id-list="753671,753673,753675"
  max-result="1"
  start-index="1"
  size="3">
  <document id="753673">
    <property>
      <name>Name</name>
      <value>Blank 2</value>
    </property>
    <property>
      <name>Short Description</name>
      <value>Short description 2.</value>
    </property>
  </document>
</documents>
