POST /asset/v1/content/assets/query

JSON Parameters

Name	Type		Description
query	object	Required	Contains the actual search request, comprised of one or more simple queries. Combine multiple query objects into an advanced query using the logical operator AND or OR.
query.property	string		Refers to an element of the asset you are querying
query.simpleOperator	string		Represents the comparison you are making between the property and the value
query.value	string		Represents the data you are comparing the property for returning search results. The value can be practically any constant expression: a single word, a phrase or sentence, a number with our without decimals. When filtering for a property among multiple values, such as when using the in operator, the value field becomes values.
page	object		Contains page and pageSize. For page, start with 1 and continue until you get zero results. pageSize is the number of results per page to return.
sort	object		Contains one or more properties to use for sorting, and also determines the direction in which to sort the data.
fields	object		List of asset properties used to reduce the size of your results to only the properties you need.

Sort Syntax

The sort syntax is the asset property name followed by the order direction, either asc or desc. This example sorts by both ID and version, in ascending and descending order, respectively.

Query Syntax

A complex query is comprised of two or more simple queries joined with an AND or OR logical comparison operator. The simple queries are contained in a leftOperand JSON field and rightOperand JSON field. A third field, the logicalOperator, is used to compare the two operands. You can also embed queries inside other queries.
