Mohsen Jafari (Apr 23 2024 at 14:33): Mohsen Jafari (Apr 23 2024 at 14:33):I have used the following url to fetch user collections (by sending user api token):
${dataverse_url}/api/search?q=*&type=dataverse&sort=date&order=desc
And it returned the following structrue:

My intention is to show all collections that the user has access to (and can created a nested collection in them). I also need to show the this data in a hierarchy tree so that it is clear to the user that what collection is child of what collection and so on. How can I achieve this?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Apr 23 2024 at 14:46):Huh. It's disappointing that for collections the Search API doesn't show the parent. (It does for datasets.) @Mohsen Jafari please feel free to open an issue about this.

Philip Durbin 🚀 (Apr 23 2024 at 14:46):I'm not sure if it shows the parent or not.

This API solved my problem.
