Overview
The Content Store API allows developers to put binary content (from a file, database BLOB/CLOB object, etc.) into the AIE content store and retrieve that content from the store. Content pointer IDs can be added to documents to allow the stored content to be retrieved and processed by workflows during the ingestion process.
Required Modules
These features require that the rest module be included when you run createproject to create your Attivio project.
REST API Parameters
The master list of QueryRequest REST parameters is located on the HTTP REST APIs page.

Endpoint URIs
All methods below take a store name (contentStore is the default for most systems) and a content-pointer ID as URL parameters. The posted and retrieved content is the raw binary content of the file or BLOB.
| URL | METHOD | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
http://yourAieHost:17000/rest/contentStoreApi/get/{storeName}/{id} | GET/POST | Binary content of the file or BLOB | |
http://yourAieHost:17000/rest/contentStoreApi/put/{storeName}/{id} | POST | Binary content of the file or BLOB | HTTP 200 |
http://yourAieHost:17000/rest/contentStoreApi/contains/{storeName}/{id} | GET/POST | true if the store contains a file or BLOB with the specified ID. | |
http://yourAieHost:17000/rest/contentStoreApi/delete/{storeName}/{id} | GET/POST | HTTP 200 |
Setting up AIE to handle ContentPointers from the REST Content Store API
To add a content pointer to a document via the REST Content Store API, add a
CreateContentPointer
component to the target ingest workflow and specify the content pointer ID field, leaving it with the default mapped value of bytes. This will link the content pointer into the IngestDocument so that further workflow stages can fetch the content it references if necessary.
