Signals Notebook: How to search all the containers in a particular location using API ?

Question: Search all containers within a location, including those in its sub-locations, in a single query using API ?

Answer: Below is the requested information on how containers can be searched by location using the API. Please follow the steps outlined below:
 

• Navigate to the Swagger API page and use the endpoint: POST /entities/search – Search entities

• In Source select "IVT" 

• Use the following query (replacing the path "/testMove" with your actual location path). This will return all containers within the specified location and its sub-locations:

 
{
  "query": {
    "$and": [
      {
        "$match": {
          "field": "type",
          "value": "container",
          "mode": "keyword"
        }
      },
      {
        "$prefix": {
          "field": "fields.Path",
          "value": "/testMove",
          "in": "tags",
          "as": "text",
          "mode":"keyword"
        }
      },
      {
        "$match": {
          "field": "isTemplate",
          "value": false
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  "options": {
    "sort": {
      "modifiedAt": "desc"
    }
  }
}
 
By using this approach, you will be able to retrieve all containers located within the specified path along with their sub-locations.
