Response Schemas

GMetaResult

These are components in a search result.

A GMetaResult is a structure similar to a GMetaEntry from the Ingest API, with the following significant differences:

visibility information is not exposed; i.e. visible_to is not included
metadata for any subject may be an aggregate of multiple documents with different visibility rules or sources. Thus, the result is always returned as an array in which each element represents data provided by a different source or with different visibility

GMetaResult

Field Name Type Description

Field Name	Type	Description
subject	String	the resource described by this metadata, often a URI
entries	Array	An array of objects containing the data pertaining to the subject. Each object has the fields `content`, `entry_id`, and `matched_principal_sets`. The `content` is an object with the entry data which was sent to Search, and the `entry_id` is its ID. If there are any assigned `principal_sets` for the entry which match the current caller, they will be returned as an array of strings in `matched_principal_sets`.
