Hi. We are using Cloudinary Node.js API. Is there a way to get media details by searching the public_id and/or public_ids without providing the resource type?

  Hi John,

  You can use the search API to search by public_id. In the expression field use the `public_id` parameter.

  For example:

  cloudinary.v2.search
  .expression('public_id:my_folder/test`)
  .sort_by('public_id','desc')
  .max_results(30)
  .execute().then(result=>console.log(result));

  If you would like to search by a few public_ids add the OR operator like this:

  `public_id:test OR public_id:duplicate/mine`

  
  In addition, you can search just by any word and get results of all assets containing this word. For example:

  
  cloudinary.v2.search
  .expression('dog')
  .sort_by('public_id','desc')
  .max_results(30)
  .execute().then(result=>console.log(result));
