I have stored some information in iiQ Assets that is used quite often. Would it be possible to use some sort of API to query information using a field and getting back just a few fields? I’d like to maybe do this in C#.NET or really any programming language is fine… Mainly just to speed up how quickly I can get just an item or two, instead of going through the rather robust search offered in iiQ Assets.
If this is not possible, please let me know - if it is possible, let me know even more :)
I reached out to my API masters at iiQ, and they have said it is an all-or-nothing situation.
The fields you receive in the response is all or nothing, but not necessarily the number of assets. You CAN query a subset of assets to some degree. You just have to kind of dig to figure out the filtering in the payload.
For example:
If I wanted to query assets based on purchase date…
POST to .../api/v1.0/assets
Payload:
{
"Filters":e
{
"Facet":"purchaseddate",
"Name":"daterange:07/03/2024-10/01/2024",
"Value":"daterange:07/03/2024-10/01/2024",
"GroupIndex":0
}
]
}
Parsing the response as part of your script and having it return only the values you want, in an array or something, would be a way to do get what you need without seeing the entire response.
So, I could set up my own query using your filters and POST that and get back the assets? Is it possible to test this on https://hoppscotch.io/ ? How does the authentication work with this type of request?
You’ll need to create an API token.
Thank you all! Got what I wanted working. I’d like to know now if it is possible to update a queried asset.
Is it possible to update a field like “AssetTag”? I’ve tried posting to …/assets/asset-id with
"Update":{
"Facet": "AssetTag",
"Value": "9999999"
}
NVM You just simply post back what you get from your query with ONLY what you want updated in the payload.
Thank you
