Some searches support faceted search and filtering. This can be used to obtain more details about the filters available and provide a better user experience
Fetching the faceted filters
Information about faceted filters will be returned as part of the same search response, if enabled.
URL : /SearchService.js
Method : POST
Auth required : Yes
Required parameters
| Name | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SearchName | DigiZuite_System_Framework_Search | Fixed parameter that identifies the endpoint search. |
| config | facet=true | Enables the faceting search. |
| config | facet.limit=101 | Limits the number of options returned for each filter . |
| config | facet.field={!ex=sAssetType}sAssetType | Enabled faceted result for the filter sAssetType. A list of all filters can be obtain using the DC 5.8 GetVisibleSearchFields endpoint. |
| config | f.sAssetType.facet.sort=count | Sorts the options returns or the sAssetType filter. Available values:
|
| accessKey | 2d8319f4-7a57-4ca0-a027-c44c2f259aac | AccessKey for API |
Optional parameters
More than 1 facet fields can be added to a search.
It is recommended to avoid faceting field of type date(datebetween) as they increase significantly the size of the search response.
