How to get site id of a node using REST API ?

mikeitexpert

Hi All,

I would like to get site name / id of a given node id. How can I do that?

I used the below query (/nodes/{nodeId}/parents) but apparently it gives only the immediate parent of the node?

Response

{
   "list":{
      "pagination":{
         "count":1,
         "hasMoreItems":false,
         "totalItems":1,
         "skipCount":0,

      },
      "entries":[
         {

You need to traverse up the chain of parents until you find a node of type st:site. Then use that node's name as the site ID.

An alternative would be to write a simple web script with a Java controller. The SiteService has a getSite() method that accepts a node reference and returns a SiteInfo object for the site that contains that node.

    /**
     * This method gets the {@link SiteInfo} for the Share Site which contains the given NodeRef.
     * If the given NodeRef is not contained within a Share Site, then <code>null</code> is returned.
     * 
     * @param nodeRef   the node whose containing site's info is to be found.
     * @return SiteInfo  site information for the containing site or <code>null</code> if node is not in a site.
     */

    SiteInfo getSite(NodeRef nodeRef);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

It's creazy to traverse up the chain of parents

Now in 2022 is there another way to get the parent site without traversing the parent chain ?

Thanks you in advance.

You may use the regular node API with the include=path parameter

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/1a0b110f-1e09-4ca2-b367-fe25e4964a4e?include=path

The response will include the Site and all the other parent folders
