Get pages
This endpoint allows you to search for pages using a variety of criteria.
Request
HTTP Header | Value |
---|---|
Authorization |
A valid JSON Web Token, of the form Bearer ENCODEDHEADER.ENCODEDPAYLOAD.ENCODEDSIGNATURE .
You don’t need to authenticate to use this endpoint, but doing so may change the set of
results that it returns. If you don’t authenticate, the response will only include
publicly-available pages. If you authenticate, it will include any matching pages that you
have permission to view. |
Query Parameters | Value |
---|---|
path |
If provided, the endpoint will return pages that have paths that begin with the value provided. It will not match pages that have this value somewhere in the middle of their paths. |
title |
If provided, the endpoint will return pages that have the given value somewhere in their titles. |
type |
If provided, the endpoint will return pages of the given type. |
tag |
If given a string of the form tag:val , the endpoint will return pages that have
a tag called tag set to a value of val . For any value not matching that
pattern, it returns pages that have a tag equal to the value provided. You can provide multiple
instances of this parameter in a single request. The logic parameter determines how
these sets interact in the response provided. |
ancestor |
If given a path, this will limit the pages you get back to only those who descend from the page with this path (e.g., children of this page, or children of children of this page, and so on). If you pass something other than a valid page path, you’ll get an empty array back, because no pages will find that path among its ancestors. |
order |
By default, the endpoint returns pages in alphabetical order, sorted by their titles. With
this parameter, you can specify any of the following sorting orders:reverse alphabetical first created last created oldest update most recent update |
limit |
By default the endpoint returns the first 10 pages that match the criteria provided, but you can change that number by setting this parameter to a different number. |
offset |
This parameter allows you to specify a number of pages to skip in the set provided in the
endpoint’s response. You can use this in conjunction with the limit
parameter to move through multiple pages of results. For example, using the default limit of
10 pages, you could get more results by setting offset to 10, thus skipping the
first 10 that you got from the first response, and instead getting the next 10. |
logic |
By default, the endpoint provides the intersection of the sets requested. So, for example,
if you provide type=Place&path=/africa , you would receive pages that have the
type Place and a path that begins with /africa (in other words, places
in Africa). You can change this to provide a union by setting logic=or . So
type=Place&path=/africa&logic=or will provide all of the pages that have the type
Place or a path that begins with /africa . This will include all
of the places in Africa, but also all of the places outside of Africa, as well as all of
the other pages located under Africa in the page hierarchy besides places, like regions. |
Examples
Response
The endpoint responds with JSON respresenting an array of Page objects that match the criteria provided. If you provide no criteria, or if it cannot find any pages matching the criteria you’ve provided, it returns with an empty array.
Property | Value Type | Value |
---|---|---|
id |
number |
The page’s unique numerical ID. |
title |
string |
The title of the page. |
description |
string |
The page’s description. It appears in the page’s header provided to search engines, social media, and other such bots and spiders. |
slug |
string |
A string used to create the page’s unique path. |
path |
string |
The unique path of this page on the Fifth World website. If you add https://thefifthworld.com
to the front of this string, you’ll have its URL. By default, we create this string by taking
the path of the page’s parent and appending a / and the page’s own slug to
it. |
parent |
number |
The unique numerical ID of this page’s parent page. If equal to 0 , that means that
this page does not have a parent. |
data |
object |
Any structured data associated with the current version fo the page. |
depth |
number |
How “deep” the page appears in the overall page hierarchy. A page that has no parent has a depth of 0. Such a page’s child would have a depth of 1, and if that page has a child, its depth will equal 2. If you wanted to trace the lineage of a page back to a “root” page that has no parents, this number tells you how many pages you will need to trace to get there. |
permissions |
number |
The permissions set on the page. This three-digit code uses the same conventions as Unix permissions,
with the owner understood as the person who created the page, the group understood
as authenticated members of the Fifth World, and the world understood as the general public.
Pages default to 774 , meaning that any authenticated member of the Fifth World can edit
them, and anyone in the world can read them. A hidden page has a value of 700 , allowing
its owner to see and edit it, but no one else. A locked page has a value of 444 , allowing
anyone to see it, but only administrators to edit it. |
type |
string |
The page’s type. |
tags |
object |
An object that provides the key/value pairs of the page’s tags. |
location |
object or boolean |
If a page has a location associated with it (as pages of type Place should), this
property provides an object, which itself provides two properties, both numbers: lat
(which provides the location’s latitude) and lon (which provides the
location’s longitude). If a page does not have any location associated with it, this
property equals false . |
likes |
array |
This property provides an array of the unique member ID’s of everyone who has liked this page. |
files |
array |
This property provides an array of File objects (see below). |
owner |
object |
The page’s owner (the person who first created it). This object includes properties
id (the member’s unique numerical ID) and name (the string that
this member has provided for hens name). |
history |
array |
This property provides an array of Change objects (see below), providing the history of changes made to this page. |
lineage |
array |
This property includes an array of this page’s “ancestors,” so if this page has a parent, a Page object for that page will appear in this array, and if that page has a parent, a Page object for its parent will also appear in the array. The “root” page (the one that has no parent of its own) appears first, and the page’s direct parent comes last. If the page has no parent, then you will find an empty array here. |
Property | Value Type | Value |

size |
number |
The file’s size in bytes. |
readableSize |
string |
The file’s size, parsed into a human-readable string (e.g., if size equals
104,864, then readableSize will equal 104.9 kB). |
page |
number |
The unique numerical ID of the page this file belongs to. |
timestamp |
number |
When the uploader uploaded this file, presented as a Unix Epoch timestamp (the number of seconds since midnight on 1 January 1970 UTC). |
uploader |
number |
The unique numerical ID of the member who uploaded this file. |
urls |

An object with two properties: full (providing the URL from which you can access the

body property of the most recent change made, parsed into HTML. |
