Content API - Find record by field content

[MarkusBaehr]

Hi all,

the following request will return the Contacts record with contentid 123456:

/contentapi/Contacts(123456)

Is there a way to use a field instead of the contentid, e.g. username which is a textfield?

Not through the content API. What you are describing is an Advanced Search, which can currently be accomplished only through the SOAP API.

Please take a moment to upvote the idea on the exchange that calls for feature parity between the available APIs.

Thank you Bodie for you quick response. I will certainly vote for this idea.
