How to use metadata with the REST API?
We're using endpoints to write metadata with calls like '/restapi/vc/messages/id/xxx/metadata/key/foo.bar/set/?value=yyy' and I'd love to search on those with calls like '/restapi/vc/posts/for/met...

Hey wmertens,
The issue here is that you have both a metadata item named cisco.ispublishable and a custom tag named cisco.ispublishable. When creating a message it looks like the custom tag is applied. In order to lookup using the custom tag, you need to prepend "modbar" to the key as outlined here:
So the call should be restapi/vc/posts/for/metadata/key/modbar.cisco.ispublishable/value/true
Also thanks to KrisS for helping out with this.
Hope this helps,
Yuri
Actually, we don't have custom tags enabled in prod, where we have the same issue.
I'm running into the same issue here and wondering if there is any insight to be had. I have defined a metadata element as canonicalized_string.
I have that metadata set on a specific post, and can verify it:
/restapi/vc/messages/id/154625/metadata/key/lithiumcse.metabrad
But when I use the existence method as follows:
/restapi/vc/posts/for/metadata/key/lithiumcse.metabrad/exists
returns false.
Any thoughts?
Hi Bradley,
I tried to replicate this and it seems to be a valid bug. I have created a ticket for it and hope to fix that soon.
Let me know if you have any questions.Regards,
Chhama- This bug has been fixed and the exists call should be working in release versions 14.7 and later. Let me know if there are any questions.
Regards,
Chhama
