+Return the available key values within a container which within a query results
+Example
+
+In this example the search will use the provided query results within the specified container and provides the aviable values for the provided key.
+
+The query:
+
+{
+  "resource": "image",
+    "query_details": {
+      "and_filters": [
+        {
+          "name": "Organism",

+      ],
+      "or_filters": [
+
+      ],
+      "case_sensitive": false
+    }
+  }
+
+The user needs to specify
+- the container name, e.g. "idr0043-uhlen-humanproteinatlas/experimentA"
+- the key which its values is needed, e.g. "gene symbol"
+
+the results should contains buckets like this:
+{
+        "key": "Gene symbol",
+        "no_image": 146,
+        "value": "NBPF12"
