I'm trying to use the REST API to retrieve some data but the API seems to be ignoring the type parameter. My environment is XWiki 7.4.2, Debian 8, PostgreSQL, Tomcat 8, Openjdk 8 If I try to fetch some data using the browser and the following URL: http:// ... /rest/wikis/query?q=select%20obj.first_name,obj.last_name%20from%20Document%20doc,%20doc.object%28XWiki.XWikiUsers%29%20as%20obj&type=xwql the result is as follows (I'm reproducing here only the first few lines - there are actually 10 items returned) <searchResults template=" http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest?q={solrquery}(&number={number})(&… "><searchResult><link href=" http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/XWiki/pages/DocumentTr… " rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/page "/><type>page</type><id>xwiki:XWiki.DocumentTreeMacros</id><pageFullName>XWiki.DocumentTreeMacros</pageFullName><wiki>xwiki</wiki><space>XWiki</space><pageName>DocumentTreeMacros</pageName><modified>2016-02-15T12:14:34-03:00</modified><author>xwiki:XWiki.Admin</author><version>4.1</version><score>0.75986093</score></searchResult><searchResult><link href=" http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Panels/pages/DocumentI… " rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/page "/><type>page</type><id>xwiki:Panels.DocumentInformation</id><pageFullName>Panels.DocumentInformation</pageFullName><wiki>xwiki</wiki><space>Panels</space><pageName>DocumentInformation</pageName><modified>2016-01-12T09:56:52-03:00</modified><author>xwiki:XWiki.superadmin</author><version>1.1</version><score>0.63381535</score></searchResult> The result is not related in any way to the user data or their names. From the template on the first line, it seems to think that the query is a SOLR query not xwql. I've verified that the query is correct xwql syntax and gives a valid result by trying it in a velocity script on an actual xwiki page. The result is basically the same if I just query for the first name instead of both the first name and last name. How should I be executing xwql queries using the REST API?

You're right - I was missing the wiki name. But, for some reason, I still can't get the queries to work. Here is what I've found so far. There is only one wiki - confirmed by the following REST call: http://10.1.16.192/wiki/rest/wikis/ which returns <wikis><link href="http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/query" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/query"/><wiki><link href="http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/spaces"/><link href="http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/classes" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/classes"/><link href="http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/modifications" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/modifications"/><link href="http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/search" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/search"/><link href="http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/query" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/query "/><id>xwiki</id><name>xwiki</name></wiki></wikis> I can get some information about the wiki using http://10.1.16.192/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/ which returns <wiki><link href="http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/spaces"/><link href="http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/classes" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/classes"/><link href="http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/modifications" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/modifications"/><link href="http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/search" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/search"/><link href="http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/query" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/query "/><id>xwiki</id><name>xwiki</name></wiki> I can get a list of spaces in the wiki using http://10.1.16.192/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/ I won't reproduce the results as it is quite long but it looks correct and includes those that I've added. But if I try to do a simple query such as .../rest/wikis/xwiki/query?q=select+obj.first_name+from+Document+doc%2C+doc.object%28XWiki.XWikiUsers%29+as+obj&type=xwql the result is <searchResults template=" http://10.1.16.192:8080/wiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/query?q={query}(&type={ty… "/> whereas the same query executed in velocity (without the URL encoding) returns the correct result.

This is again probably some simple item I've overlooked. I appreciate your help in resolving this problem.
