Hello to Everyone
I work on Alfresco 5.2 community edition,
I would like to use this api service https://api-explorer.alfresco.com/api-explorer/#!/actions/actionExec, but i can't reach it from my local environment. If I call it from Postman I get 404 error, and I can't find it in my deployed Alfresco Api Explorer.war
In the link before it has been written "Note: this endpoint is available in Alfresco 5.2 and newer versions." and I'm using Alfresco 5.2, what am I missing?
Any suggests?
thanks
Its expected, you have to deploy api-explorer.war to your alfresco instance that can connect to repository.
Take a look at this documentation for more info: https://docs.alfresco.com/5.2/concepts/dev-api-by-language-alf-rest-install-api-explorer.html
https://docs.alfresco.com/5.2/concepts/dev-api-by-language-alf-rest.html
The request you would be making from client would be like (e.g.):
POST http://<host>:<port>/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/action-executions Request Body: { "actionDefinitionId": "copy", "targetId": "4c4b3c43-f18b-43ff-af84-751f16f1ddfd", "params": {"destination-folder": "34219f79-66fa-4ebf-b371-118598af898c"} }
curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=' -d '{ "actionDefinitionId": "copy", "targetId": "4c4b3c43-f18b-43ff-af84-751f16f1ddfd", "params": {"destination-folder": "34219f79-66fa-4ebf-b371-118598af898c"} }' 'http://<HOST>:<PORT>/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/action-executions'
These apis should be working from client even without installing the api explorer as it is just an interface to play with available ReST APIs.
Thanks for responding me,
Maybe it was a bit confusing but, as said in my question, I called the api from Postman to my local environment, I've not used the "public" api-explorer URL.
The point of the question was I get 404 status when I call your url in my local env with Alfresco 5.2 community. Like action-executions API endpoint is not available.
Here is the call
localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/action-executions?alf_ticket={{alf_ticket}} body: { "actionDefinitionId": "copy", "targetId": "4c4b3c43-f18b-43ff-af84-751f16f1ddfd", "params": { "destination-folder": "34219f79-66fa-4ebf-b371-118598af898c" } }
And here is the server response

Do you know why?
Try with noderef instead of nodeId in the destination-folder parameter, it worked for me: { "actionDefinitionId": "copy", "targetId": "4c4b3c43-f18b-43ff-af84-751f16f1ddfd", "params": { "destination-folder": "workspace://SpacesStore/34219f79-66fa-4ebf-b371-118598af898c" } }
