FastSearch ContentSource Management API

Question

Hi!

I have to implement a configuration console that will access web services to manage the FastContent Content Sources.

I'm trying to find any documentation about FastSearch API that can be used in order to manage programmatically the FastContent Content Sources. But I did not find anything relevant till now!

Is it feasible? Where can I find the required documentation?

I found some documentation about creating programmatically ContentSources. But the documentation is obsolete and look like to apply only for Content Sources of SharePoint Search, not for the FastContent.

Thanks!

Hello Mr. Rocha

One of the materials you can find content on this reference material is in Microsoft's present at this address:

A really cool stuff about the search API you will find in this book:

Hi Mr. Vasconcelos,

Thanks for the reply!

The links you provided were very helpfull. However, I still miss some addtional information about how to create/retrieve/update/delete the ContentSources on FastContent.

The information I found is related to Sharepoint Search, not the Fast Search. I will perform a deep investigation under the material you sent.

Do you have any other information about that?

Thanks!
