This blog post is a simple example (cheat sheet) of listing the collections for a project in Watson Discovery using cURL and the IBM Cloud Watson Discovery API V2. You can get more details in the IBM Cloud Watson Discovery API documentation.
1. Log on to IBM Cloud
ibmcloud login (-sso)
2. List the projects
OAUTHTOKEN=$(ibmcloud iam oauth-tokens | awk '{print $4;}')
WATSON_DISCOVERY_INSTANCE_ID=XXXX
DISCOVERY_URL="https://api.us-east.discovery.watson.cloud.ibm.com/instances/$WATSON_DISCOVERY_INSTANCE_ID"
VERSION="2020-08-30"
curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $OAUTHTOKEN" "$DISCOVERY_URL/v2/projects?version=$VERSION"
{
"projects" : [ {
"project_id" : "YYYYY",
"type" : "document_retrieval",
"name" : "Sample Project 1",
"collection_count" : 1
}, {
"project_id" : "ZZZZZ",
"type" : "document_retrieval",
"name" : "Sample Project 2",
"collection_count" : 1
} ]
3. List the collections
OAUTHTOKEN=$(ibmcloud iam oauth-tokens | awk '{print $4;}')
PROJECT_ID=ZZZZZZ
curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $OAUTHTOKEN" "$DISCOVERY_URL/v2/projects/$PROJECT_ID/collections?version=$VERSION"
{
"collections" : [ {
"name" : "Collection1",
"collection_id" : "ZZZZZ_ZZZZZZ"
} ]
I hope this was useful to you, and let’s see what’s next?
Greetings,
Thomas
