Sharepoint REST api - subtask filtering

Hi - I am using REST to retrieve the contents of a sharepoint list (via ODATA)
However, the results I am getting back include not only tasks but also subtasks - how can I filter out subtasks, as I'm not interested in them?  Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get only parent tasks using Rest API.
In the task list, there is a field named "ParentID" to distinguish the task and sub task, if the field is null then it is the parent task.
http://<sitecollectionpath>/_api/Web/Lists/getByTitle('TaskListName')/Items/?$filter=ParentID eq null
Here is a similiar thread for your reference:

  • Accessing sharepoint REST api using S2S authentication

    Hi, I'm trying to access the SharePoint REST APIs (One-Drive for business) using the access token retrieved from S2S authentication flow (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn645543.aspx).
    Currently, I'm getting the following exception:
    he server was unable to process the request due to an internal error.  For more information about
    the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the
    Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace log
    Is this scenario (app auth instead of delegate auth) support for those set of APIs?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to access SharePoint Online One-Drive for business API using OAuth 2.0 authentication.
    In summary, Rest API can work with OAuth 2.0 authentication.
    Here are some detailed articles about access Rest API with OAuth 2.0 authentication:
    OAuth 2.0 Compliant REST API
    Securing RESTful Web Services with OAuth2
    About accessing One-Drive for business with Rest API, you can refer the article below:
    Access OneDrive for Business using the SharePoint 2013 APIs
    About the error message, I suggest you can use Fiddler to track the web request to find detailed message:

  • SharePoint REST API and Asset Library Problem

    Hi dear friends,
    Im having an issue about posting videos via rest to asset library and i couldnt solve yet.
    My main task is to migrate a content(according to the scenario its video) from one farm to another.For that i've planned to use Rest API using server side(c#).While
    any other kind of document types(images,texts) are migrated successfully,videos are giving me hard time.
    I think theres something special going on while creating videos in an asset library,right?
    When i post video as byte array it creates video as .mp4 file but the content type displayed as "Image".I followed this guide : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn292553.aspx and
    couldnt find a way.
    Can someone give me a sample code or help me solve this issue? Looking forward help from SharePointers who worked with rest api :)
    Thanks

    You can look at this link to help you set the metadata using REST.

  • Is there any REST API to get all the Site and site Collections from Sharepoint Online

    Hi,
    I have one SharePoint Online tenant. We are using REST API to integrate SharePoint to our internal System.
    For my use case I need to get all the SharePoint sites ans Sitecollections. From each SiteCollection I need all the subsites under this.
    I have used below REST Query
    http://<Base site url>/_api/web
    This doesn't give me all the Site collections
    Could any one please give me some way to get all the Site collections and sites from my sharepoint tenant through REST API.
    Thanks,

    Hi Abhiram,
    There seems no such endpoint in SharePoint REST API can retrieve a list of site collections in a SharePoint Online tenant:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj860569.aspx#Reference
    If Client Object Model can be an option for you, you can use Tenant object to achieve what you want:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/24050.perform-basic-admin-operations-using-csom-in-sharepoint-online.aspx#Scenario_3_Fetch_All_Site_Collections
    Anyway, I would suggest you submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform if there any expectation about the future version of REST API of Office 365 SharePoint
    Online:
    http://officespdev.uservoice.com/
    It
    is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products. What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft
    Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

  • Sharepoint break REST API connection (anonymous), possible bug in sharepoint

    Hello, I have following problem when I test Rest API using fiddler :
    As i see, server just close connection and does not return any status code at all. I expect to see at least 401 or 500 exception. Is that SharePoint
    bug, or this is expected behavior of the SharePoint? (according HTTP protocol & according SharePoint Rest API )
    Web application settings and site collection settings:

    Hi,
    Can you access the site from browser?
    If you can, would you mind providing more details about how you execute your request? Anonymous or with credential?
    How about setting the “Anonymous Access” to “Anonymous users can access Entire Web site”? It would allow anonymous users access the site.
    Feel free to reply if the issue still exists.

  • Performance issue during SharePoint list data bind to html table using Ajax call(Rest API)

    Hello,
    I am having multiple lists in my SharePoint Site. I am using SharePoint REST APIs to get data from these lists and bind a HTML Table. Suppose, I have 5 lists with 1000 records each, I am looping 5000 times to bind each row(record) to this html table. This
    is causing performance issue which is taking a very long time to bind. 
    Is there any way So that I can reduce this looping OR is there any better approach to improve the performance. Please kindly Suggest.  Thank you for your help :)
    Warm Regards,

    Hi Racha,
    For handling large data binding in a page,
    AngularJS would be a great option if you might would worry about the performance.

  • SharePoint 2013 REST API with C# - Mapping HTTP verbs to data operations - Requesting FormDigest

    SharePoint REST interface maps HTTP verbs to data operations. Endpoints that represent
    Read operations map to HTTP
    GET commands. Endpoints that represent update operations map to HTTP
    POST commands, and endpoints that represent update or insert operations map to HTTP
    PUT commands (Ref:
    How to: Complete basic operations using SharePoint 2013 REST endpoints).
    Is this mapping of HTTP verbs to CRUD operations a design paradigm or whether there are other technical reasons to this mapping
    Is is possible to use a GET command for say an update operation or a POST for say a read operation.If so, what consideration make the choice of either usage
    In the code snippet below FormDigest is requested as POST, why not use GET here?
    private static string GetFormDigest(string webUrl)
    //Validate input
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(webUrl) || String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(webUrl))
    return String.Empty;
    //Create REST Request
    Uri uri = new Uri(webUrl + "/_api/contextinfo");
    HttpWebRequest restRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
    restRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
    restRequest.Method = "POST";
    restRequest.ContentLength = 0;
    //Retrieve Response
    HttpWebResponse restResponse = (HttpWebResponse)restRequest.GetResponse();
    XDocument atomDoc = XDocument.Load(restResponse.GetResponseStream());
    XNamespace d = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices";
    //Extract Form Digest
    return atomDoc.Descendants(d + "FormDigestValue").First().Value;
    Thanks - Abhishek

    Many SharePoint REST api methods use parameters. It is much more efficient to post parameters than use query string variables.  Many times complex types are sent and these require json notation objects posted in the body. In the case of "_api/contextinfo,
    it is recommended to use POST rather than a GET when using sensitive data. GET responses can be cached. Since you are getting a security token back in that call it is recommended to use a POST.

  • Role Assignment Discovery Issue for Files and Folders through Sharepoint REST services

    To preface, I am a decided Sharepoint newbie in every sense. I am trying to use the Sharepoint REST services (Sharepoint 2013) to walk the folder and file structure of my Sharepoint server and, determine as I go, the Role Assignments (and subsequently
    Permissions) on those folders and files. I'm using an Administrator credentials and I'm actually able to successfully do it but I've run into some caveats. All the caveats begin with this; when I'm examining a folder, for example:
    /_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/cmisdev/Development')/ListItemAllFields
    I receive either an empty list or an error response doc when following the link supplied for ListItemAllFields.  When following that kind of link for folders, I either get:
    <d:ListItemAllFields
    m:null="true"
    />
    or an error response document that says "The object specified does not belong to a list." When I hit the /ListItemAllFields endpoint for files, I receive a response with a link for Role Assignments which subsequently also works and I get the
    info I need. So, is this a bug? Why does the link returned from Sharepoint work for files and not folders? So, google, google, google, and I discover that there is another possible way to get at the Role Assignments (and that the object does, indeed, belong
    to a list!).
    If I know the Title (or the guid) of the folder in question, I can use the following endpoint:
    /_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Development')
    If I use that endpoint, I get the information I would have expected to get from following /ListItemAllFields and the subsequent Role Assignments links all work and I get what I need. If there's a bug and this is how I have to work around it, that's fine
    but I have yet to discover how to dynamically determine the Title of a given folder nor am I sure if all Titles are supposed to be unique within a given Sharepoint server. I'm assuming that the folder name as represented in the server relative URL and the
    Title may be different and this is where my newbishness may start to shine if I'm misunderstanding what a "List" is supposed to be in Sharepoint. Anyway, I did find that I could use the Properties endpoint to perhaps get the Title, for example:
    /_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/cmisdev/Development')/Properties
    gives me:
    <d:vti_x005f_listtitle>Development</d:vti_x005f_listtitle>
    whose value I assume I could then supply to the /GetByTitle endpoint and be golden. However, "vti_x005f_listtitle" just sounds a little too deep to be something I should be relying on but maybe that's kosher. That's part of what I'm trying to
    find out. Also, if there is a way to use the Sharepoint REST API to discover the guid of a given object, then I could look it up in that way.
    So, in summary:
    1. Am I going about getting folder Role Assignment information in the wrong way? Based on the CSOM examples I've seen, I believe I'm doing it correctly and that the answer to #2 below is a resounding "Yes!" :)
    2. Is it a bug if I'm not able to use /ListItemAllFields on folders using the server relative url?
    3. If I'm supposed to use GetByTitle as a workaround, am I discovering that Title correctly through /Properties? Seems quite circuitous and awkward. Are Titles required to be unique throughout a given Sharepoint server?
    4. If I'm supposed to use the guid, how can I use the REST interface to discover an object's guid? Once we get down to the Role Assignments and other links, the guid appears in those links but I don't know how to discover it independently if that's the
    path I should use to get the data I described above.

    Upon further research, I'll answer my own question for the benefit of some other potential future newbie.  The answer to question number 1 above is "Not exactly.".  The server relative URLs I was using corresponded to lists (which are
    returned as a collection through /_api/web/lists).  I was treating them mentally like regular folders.  That, coupled with the fact that accessing their data as I showed above returns a ListItemAllFields link, made me think that was the way to get
    the Role Assignments just as I would for files and, as it turns out, "real" folders and sub-folders created under these lists.  That was the other problem with thinking of these lists as regular folders.  So, ListItemAllFields works on
    all files and folders in a list.  However, if you want Role Assignments for the lists themselves, you can keep track of the Titles and\or Guids from the /_api/web/lists that you're interested in (in my case, all non-hidden "document library"
    type lists) and then access those Role Assignments as I discussed in questions 3 and 4 above.  For example, from the /_api/web/lists collection from my test server, the "Development" document library Role Assignments are accessable via /_api/Web/Lists(guid'cd242eeb-aafa-4efa-aecc-9bbdf8e3d459')/RoleAssignments
    or /_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Development')/RoleAssignments.

  • How to get permission of a sharepoint list for a user using REST api

    Hi there,
    I have a requirement where i need to check the access permission of a user against a List or Library only using REST api from my remote salesforce app. [I already have access token and I am able to view list, add item etc..]
    Say for example, I have to send the list name and user name, and get the result as Read, Write, Contribute(Manage), None. I need to display what permission does that user have for that List.
    How do I achieve this. Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    For High and low bits, we can create a new SP.BasePermissions object to use like below:
    function success(data){
    var permissions = new SP.BasePermissions();
    permissions.set(SP.PermissionKind.manageLists);
    var hasPermission = permissions.hasPermissions(data.d.EffectiveBasePermissions.High, data.d.EffectiveBasePermissions.Low);

  • Document Set Creation in document library using REST API in Sharepoint 2013

    Hi,
    I want to create the document set using REST API call. Currently i am able to create the folder and able to upload the files using REST API's in the document library. Is there any way we can pass the contentype name or Id and create the document set using
    REST API call. We need to create the document set along with metadata and upload the files inside the document set.
    I need to create the document set along with meta data column values using REST API. Please let me know how we can achieve this through REST API.
    Thank you,
    Mylsamy

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create document set along with managed metadata fields.
    The REST API does not currently support working with Managed Metadata or Taxonomy fields.
    As a workaround, we can use the JavaScript Client Object Model.
    Create document set using JavaScript Client Object Model.
