Does anyone know if the new 7.0 document preview feature can also be used in an off-board user interface through some API-call?

I was told by a Googler that you could, but I don't have any details
yet, and I haven't read through all of the GSA 7.0 docs yet to see
exactly how it would work. But I would be very surprised if you
couldn't just see what the XSLT does and copy that in any case.

OK,

I expected that.
I did go through the 7.0 XSLT and there are some indications.

Guess we have to do some backward engineering.

Any update on this feature?

We are also trying to use this feature but have not been able to achieve it.

I just posted a support case with Google support for this. I badly need it and I haven't been able to reverse engineer it from the default_frontend XSL..

Hi Edwin,

We have explored this feature with the help of response from Google support. The document preview related information doesn't come via XML response rather its a javascript/ajax call when the result is hovered. This is for default GSA frontend.

We have also tried explore this feature via our UI and have been successful. In that, we have tried to replicate GSA frontend functionality.

Thanks,
Mohit

Hi mohit,

Could you share your experience and code with me?
Privately if you want to.

My experience is that you can expose the information you need to
consume by using a minimal XSLT stylesheet, like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<!--<xsl:output method="text" />-->
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This will expose the XML that you normally get without any stylesheet
at all, but it'll also expose a bunch of other information, including
the JS values used by document preview.

Hi,

you can use an custom style sheet to retrieve the necessary "preview informations.
