I need to implement search api with metadata field search. For this i have passing all required parameters like templateKey, scope, filters to search api, but i am getting bad request response from search api. I am passing the values in json array format to search api. Also this Box account is enterprise account. Following is my search query.

https://api.box.com/2.0/search?mdfilters=%5B%7B%22templateKey%22%3A%22adaptPhase%22%2C%22scope%22%3A%22enterprise_86433%22%2C%22filters%22%3A%7B%22productType%22%3A+%22case%22%7D%7D%5D

Please guide me someone, how to implement Metadata search with Search api.

    Hello ,

    the URL you've shared, once decoded, is: https://api.box.com/2.0/search?mdfilters=[{"templateKey":"adaptPhase","scope":"enterprise_86433","filters":{"productType":+"case"}}]

     

    If we pretty-print that:

    [

      {
        "templateKey": "adaptPhase",
        "scope": "enterprise_86433",
        "filters": {
          "productType": + "case"
        }
      }
    ]

     

    I see here two things:

    1. there is a + there that shouldn't be here. Remove it and try again.
    2. In case that it is still not working try to add square brackets [] on the filters piece: "filters": [{"productType":"case"}]

     Let's see if this works for you 😉

    No. Actual issue with template key. I have changed my template key. Now my code is working fine with all type of metadata filters.
