Get a list of favorites

Use this to get a list of favorites for a specific person. You can tailor the information returned by providing the WHERE HTML parameter.

Method

Using the HTTP GET method:

people/<personId>/favorites

Example request URL

https://api.alfresco.com/yourcompany.com/public/alfresco/versions/1/people/fred.bloggs@yourcompany.com/favorites

Parameters

You can use the where parameter to restrict the list in the response to entries of a specific kind. The where parameter takes a value. The value is a single predicate that can include one or more EXISTS conditions. The EXISTS condition uses a single operand to limit the list to include entries that include that one property. The property values are:-

  • target/file
  • target/folder
  • target/site

For example, the following where parameter restricts the returned list to the file favorites for a person:

where=(EXISTS(target/file)) 

You can specify more than one condition using OR. The predicate must be enclosed in parentheses.

For example, the following where parameter restricts the returned list to the file and folder favorites for a person:

where=(EXISTS(target/file OR EXISTS(target/folder))

The -me- string can be used in place of <personId> to get the favorites of the currently authenticated user.

Response

  • If the request is successful an HTTP OK is returned (status 200).
  • If an invalid where parameter was specified an HTTP Bad Request is returned (status 400).
  • If the personId does not exist in this network an HTTP Not Found is returned (status 404).
  • If the current user does not have permission to access the favorites of the personId, an HTTP Not Found is returned (status 404).
