How to get site id of a node using REST API ?

[mikeitexpert]

Hi All,

I would like to get site name / id of a given node id. How can I do that?

I used the below query (/nodes/{nodeId}/parents) but apparently it gives only the immediate parent of the node?

You need to traverse up the chain of parents until you find a node of type st:site. Then use that node's name as the site ID.

An alternative would be to write a simple web script with a Java controller. The SiteService has a getSite() method that accepts a node reference and returns a SiteInfo object for the site that contains that node.

    /**
     * This method gets the {@link SiteInfo} for the Share Site which contains the given NodeRef.
     * If the given NodeRef is not contained within a Share Site, then <code>null</code> is returned.
     * 
     * @param nodeRef   the node whose containing site's info is to be found.
     * @return SiteInfo  site information for the containing site or <code>null</code> if node is not in a site.
     */

    SiteInfo getSite(NodeRef nodeRef);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
