[iamnjain]

Hello,

How we can create Smart collections programmatically?

If you can provide a code snippet, that would be helpful.

Thanks.

Hi @iamnjain 

You can use the OmniSearchService API to create smart collections programmatically. Here is the API documentation - https://developer.adobe.com/experience-manager/reference-materials/6-5/javadoc/com/adobe/granite/omn...

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi @narendragandhi 

Can you please provide a code example as well?
This is new to me, so I am asking 🙂

@kautuk_sahniIf anyone can provide a working code snippet, that would be helpful.

@iamnjain Actually instead of recreating the servlet, you can just make POST request to the existing servlet which is being used -

Servlet Path - http://localhost:4502/libs/granite/omnisearch/savedsearch

You can get the request parameters and header details by manually creating a collection in your AEM instance and then search for 'savedSearch' in network tab of Chrome Developer tools.

Can you also provide details on how you are planning to invoke the smart collections creation ?

Thanks
