How do you get the ContentType name for the items returned using SEARCH API

Question

I use SP SEARCH api and below is my enpdoint:

/_api/search/query?querytext=%27matrix%27&&$expand=ContentType&rowlimit=5

It doesn't seem to show anywhere that "$expand" is supported. I also tried to match the stringId from ContentType to another REST call to this endpoint:

/_api/web/contentTypes

But I get a result that is specific to that site only.

The question is simple: How do I get the Content Type Name for the results in SEARCH API?

Answer 1

https://siteurl/_api/search/query?querytext="keyword to search"&selectproperties='Title,ContentType'

This should help
