Searching for items marked as authoritative

[RobGordon1]

I am using the ArcGIS python API as I would like to count items in my agol that are marked as authoritative. I have been able to search by owner and type but I cannot get the contentStatus search term to work at all. I have read the documentation over and over and I just can't figure out what is wrong. 

auth_items = gis.content.search(query='contentStatus:public_authoritative', max_items=100)

auth_no = len(auth_items)

print(auth_no)

Thanks!

Hey @RobGordon1 

Could you try to search for this here:

auth_items = gis.content.search(query='contentStatus:authoritative', max_items=100)

I think it falls into a general category of authoritative, I've seen this here too:

Thanks @CodyPatterson but... I have answered my own question.... 

So this page Search reference | ArcGIS REST APIs | ArcGIS Developers has the term contentStatus which does not work. But this non python page on advanced search has the term contentstatus . This does work! 😂😭

To add to the confusion I have to use contentstatus:public_authoritative (or org_authoritative) as authoritative alone is not a recognised value. This is as written on the API page next to contentStatus.

My status is now: 😑

Hey @RobGordon1 

Definitely quite a lot of strangeness! I seem to be left as that status quite often when attempting to read through some of the documentation unfortunately.
