Search all messages based on a Tag

Hi,

This feature seems a bit... well hidden indeed. You can find it only via the REST API's search result preview but not the actual documentation results ;)

 

Basically you simply add the tagging filter "/tagging/for/tags/text/<tag_string>" to your REST API call like this:

 

http://lithosphere.lithium.com/restapi/vc/boards/id/studio/tagging/for/tags/text/rest%20api/messages/recent

Hope this helps

Hi Claudius,
This works for single tag.
what if I want to filter messages of more than one tags.

E.g. I want to filter messages having "tag1" or "tag2" or "tag3" or any combination of selected Tags.

Hi dhiraj_gophane

 

may you try this?

 

/restapi/vc/search/messages?q=is_root:true%20AND%20tags:(tag1%20OR%20tag2)

is_root means topics only, no replies, if you want the reply, it will like

 

/restapi/vc/search/messages?q=tags:(tag1%20OR%20tag2)

 

I hope that it can help you.

 btw: if your tag contains space, you will need to use something like

 

/restapi/vc/search/messages?q=is_root:true%20AND%20tags:(%22test%20space%22)

 

we are searching for topics with tag="test space" in the above example.

 

 

 

Hi,
I'm using same Rest API.
but for some tags it fetches messages which do not include that Tag.

E.g. /restapi/vc/boards/id/blogger/search/messages?q=is_root:true%20AND%20tags:(Activity)

where, Activity is a Tag.

Is there any other way to fetch these messages by passing tag list?

hi dhiraj_gophane,

 

can you give exact messages which don't have the tags but got picked up by the REST API call? it sounds a bug for me. you may want to fill a ticket with Lithium Support.

 

Best Regards
