Retrieval of the type details

When you want to modify a category, a group, or an item type in a schema, you require the type details, such as type id, type name, and type class. You can retrieve this information of any type by using the GET method.

Prerequisites

You must have the following information before you retrieve the type details:

REST API request

To retrieve the information about a specific type of a schema, you must use the request with the following attributes:

Request attributes Request parameters
HTTP method GET
Endpoint https://{OneTest_Server}/onetest-data/rest/v1/otd/projects/{project_id}/schemas/{schema_id}/type_path/{type_path}

For example, if a schema has a Root category in the dictionary, with Student group and Name item type, then the Type path for Student type is - Root:Student

Type path for Name type is - Root:Name

Authorization Yes
Request body Null

Response code

You can view the following response after you run the request:

HTTP response code Response example
200 
{ 
  "type_id":"1", 
  "type_name":"Name", 
  “type_class”:”item” 
}

Error codes

The following table lists the error codes that can generate on the failure of the request:
