sharepoint rest api sitecollections

Question

I use the following API

https://.sharepoint.com/_api/search/query?querytext='(contentclass=STS_Site)'&rowlimit=500

for getting the site collection, but it seems to miss site collections. for example : It misses

https://.sharepoint.com/sites/sep

. But for which I have all permissions. Even using the following api I was able to access the site

https://.sharepoint.com/_api/search/query?querytext='(path=https://.sharepoint.com/sites/sep)'

and checked

content class is STS_Site

P.S: It didn't cross the row limit what is wrong with my API. Or else is there is any REST API for getting only site collections.

Thanks & Regards, Sai Monesh C S

Answer 1

If you have created the site pretty soon, then you might have to wait till it is crawled. Have you tried this query?

https://(yourorg).sharepoint.com/_api/search/query?querytext='(contentclass=STS_Site AND path=https://(yourorg).sharepoint.com/sites/sep)'
