DSpace 7 Rest API

[Nada Aboueata]

Dear Community, 

I am using DSpace 7 Rest API endpoints and would like to ask if there a way to filter the response based on a URL parameters. 

For example: calling /items end-point and filter based on inArchive or discoverable. Can you please advise if the API support filtering responses using URL parameters?

Hi,

Different endpoints do support different ways of filtering results.  But, not all endpoints necessarily have the same available filters.  See our REST API documentation at https://github.com/DSpace/RestContract/blob/main/README.md

It's also worth noting that, if you can do something in the User Interface, then it's *always possible* to also do that same thing in the REST API.  See our guide for how to find out which REST API endpoints are being used on a specific User Interface page: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/REST+API#RESTAPI-FindingwhichRESTAPIEndpointtouse
