How to fetch all web pages from under a directory in JCR using CURL in CQ?

Question

I want to fetch all web pages(recursively) from under a directory in my CQ content using curl. Can someone please help?

Answer 1

The Apache Sling JSON GET servlet is enabled by default in CQ so provided access control allows it you can retrieve subtrees with URLs like /content.tidy.N.json where N is the desired recursion level.

As an example,

curl -s -u admin:admin http://localhost:8080/content/geometrixx.tidy.2.json

Retrieves two levels of the tree under /content/geometrixx.

If the result contains more elements than a configurable limit you'll get a 302 response that lists the URLs that provide the result in multiple smaller units.
