Hello All,
My goal is to get jar files from all groups inside a specific repository.
My query =
> curl -u admin:password -X GET ‘[https://mynexus3.internal/service/rest/v1/search?repository=maven-repo1&group=abc-workspace.modules&maven.extension=jar&maven.classifier](https://mynexus3.internal/service/rest/v1/search?repository=maven-repo1&group=abc-workspace.modules&maven.extension=jar&maven.classifier)’
> curl -u admin:password -sSl -X GET [https://mynexus3.internal/service/rest/v1/search/assets](https://mynexus3.internal/service/rest/v1/search/assets) -d repository=maven-repo1 -d maven.extension=jar
This commands are unable to show me the jar files under group1.subfolder.subfolder , group2.subfolder.subfolder and so on under group maven-repo1.
I tried multiple ways to get the jar files from all groups & subfolders inside my maven repo but it is not working.
I am on Sonatype Nexus Repository ManagerOSS 3.36.0-0 version.
Any thoughts how can I achieve this using curl command? Thanks.
Regards,
Amey.

Nested folders aren’t part of a Maven group so those search queries won’t include them.
You may be able to parse the HTML browse documents, i.e. `http://{nexus}/service/rest/repository/browse/{repositoryName}/`
