The Power of APIs
Why REST APIs
● Rich web clients can talk directly with your Application● Useful when integrating multiple different clients● RESTful way takes less effort● Work out-of-the-box, no setup, just a design model● Standardize development
Creating an API on standards that already exist makes it much easier for application developers to use your API.
Guidelines
Entando REST APIs are designed with the following standards:
● Provide access to data & services via a standard JSON/XML-based Api
● All resources must be accessed using a base URI
<APPLICATION_BASE_URL>/api/rs/<LANG_CODE>/<NAMESPACE>/<RESOURCE_NAME>.<EXTENSION>?<QUERY_STRING>
myportal.com/api/rs/en/jcms/contents?contentType=CNG
myportal.com/api/rs/en/jcms/content.json?id=CNG51
● All response needs to be Self Documented
