Version 9.10 Release Notes

Nuix RESTful Service, Version 9.10, released in September 2022.

Nuix Engine

Nuix RESTful Service has been updated to use version 9.10 of the Nuix Engine. Details about what is included with this update can be found in the v9.10 changelog.

General enhancements

  • Performance of the POST /cases/{caseId}/search endpoint using the deduplicate: md5 parameter has been improved.
  • The GET /cluster endpoint has been updated to return the REST version, operating system type, and operating system version for all nodes in a cluster.

Reference documentation enhancements

  • The POST /cases/{caseId}/productionSets endpoint documentation was updated for accuracy. The following parameters are now correctly documented as being required:
    • requestBody
    • productionProfileName
    • imagingProfileName
  • The documentation for all Search endpoints has been updated to include a comprehensive list of supported values in the sortField and fieldList parameters.

See the Reference Documentation for details on these endpoints.

New endpoints

To improve parity between Nuix RESTful Service and the Nuix Core Engine, several endpoints have been added in this release:

  • Assign a Custodian to an Item: PUT /cases/{caseId}/items/{itemGuid}/custodian
  • Get an Item’s Custodian: GET /cases/{caseId}/items/{itemGuid}/custodian
  • Unassign a Custodian from an Item: DELETE /cases/{caseId}/items/{itemGuid}/custodian

See the Reference Documentation for details on these endpoints.

JSON Web Tokens (JWT) available for authentication

Previously, you needed a nuix-auth-token value in the request header to authenticate. Now, JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are being introduced as the preferred authentication method. Use of nuix-auth-token will be deprecated in an upcoming release, but it is currently supported in the request header field. Starting with this release, you can use a JWT in the authorization header field instead of a nuix-auth-token in the request header. The authorization header will accept a value of Bearer <Your-JWT>.

The Reference Documentation has been updated to reflect functionality using JWTs. See future release notes for information on the status of the nuix-auth-token.

Resolved issues

  • Using the GET /cases/{caseId}/items/{itemGuid}/download endpoint in a clustered environment incorrectly returned an error message stating “Unexpected error exporting PDF”. The issue has been resolved.
  • Performing OCR with a tagged node was not adhering to the node specified. Instead, OCR was performed on whichever node was available for the task. The issue has been resolved.
  • When the POST /cases/{caseId}/bulkSearchers endpoint finishes running on a cluster, a status of "done": true, is now correctly returned, instead of "done": false,.
