Send a search query to RoboHelp server

Public area

When you send a search request to a public area, use the HTTP GET method. You can use the following format for your search query:

URL: http://<server-name>:<port-number>/<context-name>/rest/search?project=<project-name>&area=<area-name>&quesn=<search-query>&type=<type-of-output>

The server sends the response in the following JSON format:

{
   "topics": [
      {
         "strSummary": "{summary}",
         "strTitle": "{title}",
         "nIndex": "{index}",
         "strUrl": "{url}",
         "strBreadcrumbs": "{breadcrumbpath}",
         "fRanking": "{rank}",
         "nTopicId": "{topicId}"
      }
   ],
   "clientIndex": "{isClientsideIndexing(boolean)}",
   "syns": "{synonyms}"
}

Protected area

To send a query request to a protected area, use the HTTP POST method. Use the following format for your search query:

URL : "
{
   "rest": {
      "uid": "admin",
      "pwd": "admin",
      "prj": "mars",
      "quesn": "topic",
      "area": "classic",
      "type": "responsivehelp"
   }
}"

"{    ""topics"": [        {            ""strSummary"": "{
   "summary"
}",            ""strTitle"": "{
   "title"
}",            ""nIndex"": "{
   "index"
}",            ""strUrl"": "{
   "url"
}",            ""strBreadcrumbs"": "{
   "breadcrumbpath"
}",            ""fRanking"": "{
   "rank"
}",            ""nTopicId"": "{
   "topicId"
}"        }    ],    ""clientIndex"": "{
   "isClientsideIndexing(boolean)"
}",    ""syns"": "{
   "synonyms" 

The RoboHelp server sends the response in the following format:

"{    ""topics"": [        {            ""strSummary"": "{
   "summary"
}",            ""strTitle"": "{
