I want to use the Afresco REST API to download a document. After some research I find out this REST API:

/alfresco/s/api/node/content{property}/{store_type}/{store_id}/{id}

But I am not sure how to pass the parameters.

If my document details URL in Share is :

http://127.0.0.1:8080/share/page/context/mine/document-details?nodeRef=workspace://SpacesStore/7f77488a-60a0-48c3-9369-77183ccad0d2

What should be passed in {property}, {store_type}, {store_id} and {id}?

Answer

For this NodeRef

workspace://SpacesStore/7f77488a-60a0-48c3-9369-77183ccad0d2

the values for parameter will be:

{property}: content
{store_type}: Workspace
{store_id}: spaceStore
{id}: 7f77488a-60a0-48c3-9369-77183ccad0d2

Details related to each parameter is already specified by Krutik.

And you should use this download url.

/alfresco/d/<d|a>/<workspace>/<store>/<nodeId>/<filename>

where d=direct and a=attached.

The attach or direct element is used to indicate whether to display the stream directly in the browser or download it as a file attachment.
