getDocumentMetadata

Returns the metadata for the specified document.

  • The request contains the document reference whose metadata is to be returned.
  • The response returns information about the document, such as name, mime type, who created it, date created, and so on.

Note that there are two REST variants for getDocumentMetadata:

  • GET - In this request, the document reference is included as a path parameter. Note, however, some CMIS servers use characters in document references that need escaping when included in URLs. If this is an issue, you can URL-encode the document reference, or you can use the alternative POST method.
  • POST - In this request, the document reference is embedded in the request body.
