Additional APIs

Additional APIs​

This module provides additional API endpoints not part of the LionWeb specifications but practically useful.

Endpoints​

POST /additional/getNodeTree​

Given a list of node IDs, returns the tree of descendant node IDs for each input ID.

  • Accepts a depthLimit query parameter (optional)

POST /additional/bulkImport​

Performs high-performance bulk import of new nodes into the repository. This endpoint is optimized for massive ingestion of data—suitable for tens or hundreds of thousands of nodes—and bypasses expensive validation and deduplication steps typical of standard store operations.

  • Supports three formats for the request body:
    • JSON (application/json)
    • FlatBuffers (application/flatbuffers)
    • Protocol Buffers (application/protobuf)
  • It is recommended to use FlatBuffers for optimal performance.
  • All nodes must be new (no updates to existing nodes).
  • Each tree can specify an attach point via:
    1. ID of an existing container node
    2. Containment (metapointer) where the tree will be appended
  • If no attach point is specified, the node is considered a new partition
