Search requests¶

Used for listing all requests you can interact with.

GET /api/requests

Parameters

Name	Type	Location	Description
`q`	string	query	Search query used to filter results based on ElasticSearch's query string syntax.
`sort`	string	query	Sort search results. Built-in options are `"bestmatch"`, `"name"`, `"newest"`, `"oldest"` (default: `"bestmatch"` or `"newest"`).
`size`	integer	query	Specify number of items in the results page (default: 10).
`page`	integer	query	Specify the page of results.
`accept`	string	header	- `application/json` (default) - `application/vnd.inveniordm.v1+json`

Note that "bestmatch" is only available as a sort option on requests that provide a query string as a q parameter, in which case it is the default sort type. If no query string is provided in the request, the default sort type is "newest". In this case a "bestmatch" value is ignored and the default "newest" sort is used.
