REST API to List Documents in the Document Library

You can now use a REST API to list documents in the document library. This API allows you to:

  • Retrieve all documents
  • Retrieve documents with a specific path
  • Retrieve documents by ID
  • Retrieve multiple documents by ID array
  • Retrieve specific fields only
  • Paginate results
  • Sort documents by name (ascending)
  • Sort documents by name (descending)

Other tasks you can complete with this REST API include retrieving documents by parent folder ID, filtered by MIME type, and with a combination of filters.

Business Benefit: Using a REST API allows you to list documents from the document library, which can then be used as input for other actions such as deleting documents in bulk.

Steps to Enable

Review the REST service definition in the REST API guides to leverage (available from the Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > APIs & Schema). If you are new to Oracle's REST services you may want to begin with the Quick Start section.
