Searching the elements which have a dependency to a specific element, whatever the dependency type is :

<SEARCH>
  <MEDIA>
    <DEPENDENCIES>
      <MEDIA ID="25"/>
    </DEPENDENCIES>
  </MEDIA>
</SEARCH>

Nb: a dependency is not symetric (unless configured so) : it's directed from the parent to the child. Thus this query will give you the parents of the Media with ID = 25.

If you want to know the different types of dependencies, read more about it here.

If you want the children of the Media with ID=25, you will write it this way :

<SEARCH>
  <MEDIA>
    <DEPENDENCIES mode="reverse">
      <MEDIA ID="25"/>
    </DEPENDENCIES>
  </MEDIA>
</SEARCH>

 

Searching the elements which have a dependency to a Media which Mediatype is "Menu" :

<SEARCH>
  <MEDIA>
    <DEPENDENCIES>
      <MEDIA>
        <INFO>
          <MEDIATYPE>Menu</MEDIATYPE>
        </INFO>
      </MEDIA>
    </DEPENDENCIES>
  </MEDIA>
</SEARCH>

You can also write it :

<SEARCH>
  <MEDIA>
    <DEPENDENCIES>
      <MEDIA mediatype="Menu"/>
    </DEPENDENCIES>
  </MEDIA>
</SEARCH>

Searching for imbricated dependencies

We want the grandfather of an element, without knowing which type of dependency is used.

<SEARCH>
  <MEDIA>
    <DEPENDENCIES>
      <MEDIA>
        <DEPENDENCIES>
          <MEDIA ID="25"/>
        </DEPENDENCIES>
      </MEDIA>
    </DEPENDENCIES>
  </MEDIA>
</SEARCH>

Searching for dependency with additional information

Additional informations can be saved on a dependency to characterize it (Rate, Status, etc). See the NQL UPDATE command.

<SEARCH>
  <MEDIA mediatype="Menu">
    <DEPENDENCIES>
      <MEDIA>
        <DEPINFO operator="=">3</DEPINFO>
        <COMMENT operator="=">pending</COMMENT>
      </MEDIA>
    </DEPENDENCIES>
  </MEDIA>
</SEARCH>
