Magento – rest api get category search by name

magento-2.1

How can I get a category filter by name?

If I used

http://example.com/index.php/rest/V1/categories?
searchCriteria[filter_groups][0][filters][0][field]=name&
searchCriteria[filter_groups][0][filters][0][value]=Robots&
searchCriteria[filter_groups][0][filters][0][condition_type]=eq

Then it returned me all categories but I want only the category with name = Robots

Is it possible?

Thanks

thanks for your help

But if I send:

http://example.com/index.php/rest/V1/categories/list?searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][field]=name&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][value]=Robots&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][conditionType]=eq

Then I get:

{
"message": "Invalid type for value: \"list\". Expected Type: \"int\"." }

If I send:

http://example.com/index.php/rest/V1/categories?searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][field]=name&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][value]=Robots&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][conditionType]=eq

I get all the categories

Thanks

You should use /V1/categories/list instead of /V1/categories. And modify your parameters from filter_groups to filterGroups, and condition_type to conditionType. So that:

http://example.com/index.php/rest/V1/categories?searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][field]=name&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][value]=Robots&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][conditionType]=eq

Magento – How to get same products from rest api as are visible on frontend

There are default REST APIs in Magento2.

website ID (or store ID) we have multisite : To filter according to the store or website there is no any REST APIs. To get list of product according to store or website reuired "REST Schema Endpoint Format". For example to get list of product for a single store we use the following call
```
http://{baseurl}/rest/V1/products?searchCriteria[pageSize]=10
```
suppose you have another store with store code "store2". then we use following url
```
http://{baseurl}/rest/store2/V1/products?searchCriteria[pageSize]=10
```

Magento – Magento 2 Rest API – how to add values to dropdown product attribute

I run into the same issue. After some debugging I found out that the values are used as an array index (e.g. debug the $object->toArray() in Magento\Framework\Model\ResourceModel\Db\AbstractDb::prepareDataForUpdate). At this place the information about the default value and sort order are already removed when using integers as value.

So easily do not use integers as values at this place. When using the backend to create/update an attribute manually, magento uses "option_1", "option_2" and so on for values.

Applied to your example, this would result in:

{
  "option": {
    "label": "Cappuccino",
    "value": "option_6"
  }
}

OT but related: Create an Attribute: When using POST /rest/V1/products/attributes to create an attribute having the options given, the options also won't be saved when using integers as values.
