RESTful Services not returning as expected

Brenden Kehren asked on August 5, 2014 07:08

I'm using RESTful services to get some documents back from particular node in the content tree and it's not returning the results as I'd expect. Below is my URL

http://localhost:4/rest/content/currentsite/defaultculture/childrenof/resources?offset=10&maxrecords=10

I want to get all the docs of type "x" below the /resources node and enable paging. No matter what I try, I always get every record back under the /resources node. What simple piece am I missing or what have I misread?

restful v8

Response back from Kentico:

Our developers have sent me an update. Documents will not support offset and maxrecords, only the topn parameter. This is due to backward compatibility. The documentation will be updated.

I am very sorry for the confusion.

Hi Brenden. I tried using offset and maxrecords and could not get them to work (v8.0.18). Have you had any luck with it?

No luck Jim. Thanks for testing as well. I've submitted a ticket to Kentico and they are looking into if its a bug or if I have something wrong in my syntax. Believe I'm using v8.0.16

I also tested orderby, columns, and topn. They worked as expected.

Possibly a bug. Here's the response from Kentico Support:

Based on first investigations, it seems that DocumentRESTService needs to be updated to use DataQuery internally to make this work.

Then how we can achieve pagination on documents?! is it possible to get the cms.document type with our custom fields instead of rest/content/currentsite/? I mean something like rest/cms.document/all?classnames=cms.news&columns=title ?

@Reza, I ended up creating a custom handler to do what I needed. I'm unsure of your method as I gave up after Support stated it wouldn't work.
