GET/terms
List and search terms
Lists the published terms of the termbase, 500 per page by default. Filters combine with AND.
search finds terms whose value contains the query or is similar to it, best matches first. Without
search, terms are sorted by value.
The list carries a short form of each term; fields adds more, GET /terms/{identifier} returns all of it.
Query-Parameter
searchstring- Text the term's value contains or is similar to. Case-insensitive.
locale_codestring- Only terms in this language. Repeat as
locale_code[]for several. Includes the terms of the language's fallback language (seehide_fallback_locale) and terms marked as not to be translated (dnt). hide_fallback_localeboolean- With
locale_code, leave out the terms of the fallback language. statestring- Only terms with this usage state. Repeat as
state[]for several. term_typestring | null- Only terms of this type.Erlaubte Werte:
fullForm,abbreviation,acronym,short,variant,colloquial,combination tagstring- Only terms whose term entry carries this tag. Repeat as
tag[]for several; an entry must carry all of them. topicstring · uuid- Only terms whose term entry belongs to this topic (identifier). Subtopics are not included.
term_entry_identifierstring- Only terms of the term entry with this ID of your own (
term_entry.term_entry_identifier), not itsidentifier. initial_characterstring- Only terms whose value begins with this text.
missing_locale_codestring- Only terms whose term entry has no term in this language yet — what still needs translating.
missing_term_entry_fieldsstring- Only terms whose term entry lacks these, comma-separated:
topic,images,definition. A missing definition is looked for inmissing_field_locale_code. missing_field_locale_codestring- The language of the definition
missing_term_entry_fields=definitionlooks for. last_updated_afterstring · date- Only terms changed on or after this day, a change of the term entry included.
term_entry_statestring- With
include_drafts, only terms of term entries in this state.Erlaubte Werte:published,draft,suggested,rejected include_draftsboolean- Also return terms that are not published yet (term requests, imports, extractions, tasks).
term_entry_field_{identifier}string- Only terms whose term entry has this value in the custom field
{identifier}, e.g.term_entry_field_f1e2d3c4=Fenster. Works for picklist, number and boolean fields. For date fields useterm_entry_field_{identifier}_startand_end. term_field_{identifier}string- Like
term_entry_field_{identifier}, for the custom fields of terms. sortingstring- Sort by last change (
last_updated) or last comment (last_commented) instead of value. fieldsstring- Adds to each term, comma-separated or as
fields[]:locale_code,locale,preferred_term,term_entry,term_entry_identifier,publishing_info. pageintegerStandard:1- Page to return, from 1.
per_pageintegerStandard:500- Terms per page, at most 500.

Create a term
Benötigter Scope:edit_terms
Creates a term. Without term_entry_id it starts a new term entry, which subject, tags, topics and
term_entry_fields describe; with term_entry_id it joins that existing entry (a synonym or a translation)
and those four are ignored.
The term is published at once. Nothing is created if the request is answered with an error.
Send a state: without one the term is stored with the placeholder active, which is no usage state.
