Retrieve items from a search

Hello all.

I got a small problem. I am using the Zotero API to retrieve publications and display them on my webpage. I have now created a 'smart collection' by defining and saving a search. I can get a list of all searches in my library by sending a get request to

https://api.zotero.org/users/<userId>/searches?key=<apiKey>;

However, there seems to be no way to retrieve all items matched by the search. For a collection I would do this:

https://api.zotero.org/users/<userId>/collections/<collectionId>/items?key=<apiKey>;

The analog request for a search would be

https://api.zotero.org/users/<userId>/searches/<searchId>/items?key=<apiKey>;

But this doesn't work. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks a lot...
