Query searches and GitHubRaegan Wiechert 

github.com/folio-org/mod-search/tree/release/v1.6

Raegan noted that typos in table names has effected mod-search - be careful of the version you are using. This should be straightened out in Morning Glory. Item queries are effected. 

Felix (chat) - "Will we harmonize things like itemTags (camel case) and item.barcode (dot notion)?" - Consistency is needed. 

Khalilah Gambrell  and the Spitfire team are responsible for this. Charlotte will write a bug. 


API Demo

Felix Hemme 

Changing Reference Tables via API - 

https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/display/FOLIOtips/Scripts+for+Inventory%2C+Source+Record+Storage%2C+and+Data+Import+Cleanup


  • Inventory APIs - 
  • Install FOLIO with reference values
  • Translated file 


  • JSON used: https://github.com/zbw/folio-inventory-translations

  • Result in local demo system


  • Many FOLIO installations can use this for translations and can use this script. 

  • Does script need to run for every upgrade? - Felix has not had a chance to tested that yet. 


API Demo

Jenn Colt 

MARC Query API

  • Must be use in a script or with a tool like Postman. (Jenn uses Insomnia - https://insomnia.rest/)
  • MARC Search Query API
  • Query only searches MARC data that is attached to an instance (not authorities, old SRS records)
  • Returns a list of instances attached to MARC that satisfies your query.
  • Jenn noted this is a POST type query - however, you will not be changing anything on the server. Typically these are GET queries but for efficiency sake POST is correct
  • POSTing - a JSON body. The searches go in the body of what you send back to FOLIO
    • Examples given on wiki page: key:value 
  • Check for the presence of a MARC tag does not work well for repeatable fields - will only check first occurrence of field. If using this, search full tag or qualify more closely what is being sought.
  • The value in this is for things not represented well in the instance.
  • There is not a 'contains' option.
  • Not sure if "presence" , "absence" works for indicators - will write in Slack later
  • Example in Insomnia environment:
  • Results are UUIDs and can be copied to a CSV file and used for data export in FOLIO

Cornell uses this to check data import jobs. Checking can be done immediately - without waiting until the next day for the LDP
