site/search/properties (GET)
Overview
Retrieve all pages with a specified property
- REST Method: GET
- Method Access: public
Query Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
| name | string | The name of the property to search for |
| authenticate | bool? | Force authentication for request (default: false) |
| verbose | bool? | Show verbose page output. default: true |
Return Codes

Implementation Notes
Feature will return a list of pages that have a property with a name that matches all or part of the search string.
Output is significantly shortened when verbose is set to false.
<pages>
<page id="{int}" href="{uri}">
<uri.ui>{uri}</uri.ui>
<title>{text}</title>
<path>{text}</path>
<namespace>{namespace}</namespace>
</page>
<page>
...
</pages>
Encoding
- All page properties created through the Expert UI are prefixed with "urn:custom.mindtouch.com#". The property search, unlike many other features in Expert, is singly encoded, hence the representation of the prefix in an address field or command line will be as follows:
urn%3acustom.mindtouch.com%23

Implementation notes
curl flags
- -u
- Provides external user authentication. Note that if anonymous access is available and authentication is not forced, this flag may be omitted.
- -i
- Outputs the HTTP response headers. Useful for debugging.
Encoding
- All page properties created through the Expert UI are prefixed with "urn:custom.mindtouch.com#". The property search, unlike many other features in Expert, is singly encoded, hence the representation of the prefix in an address field or command line will be as follows:
