How to expand study query result with custom user-metadata

Google Groups archive

Hi,

Is it possible to have custom user metadata defined in the Orthanc configuration file:

“UserMetadata” : {
// “Sample” : 1024
“ScanFacility”: 1025
},

also visible in the result of querying study from the API:

…/study/{id}?Expand=true

Result:

{
   "ID" : "cf5f1d31-7c64f1af-29dfb45b-c05b0413-8ff31dd9",
   "IsStable" : true,
   "LastUpdate" : "20181125T215327",

Metadata can be retrieved by the following call:

$ curl http://localhost:8042/studies/66c8e41e-ac3a9029-0b85e42a-8195ee0a-92c2e62e/metadata?expand

{
“LastUpdate” : “20181115T105715”
}

As you noticed, metadata is not returned by the “http://localhost:8042/studies/{id}” URI. This is because metadata can get large. You can implement this feature by creating a plugin:

The “/tools/find” URI cannot be used to search metadata, as already discussed in this recent thread:

Thanks a lot!

I am really really sorry if I asked too many questions in a short period in this group, but I am new in this topic. I really need help.
I agree that my first question is to simple for experienced guys. I just don’t know the answer. I will stop with questions. Sorry again!
