Getting started with the REST service for Web Content Manager V2
Starting CF217, the WCM REST V2 Swagger API Explorer has new API additions and modifications and is also out of beta state.
If you are working with WCM via REST, it is recommended to use the WCM REST V2 API.
WCM REST V2 Swagger API Explorer introduces new Wrapper APIs corresponding to the following WCM V1 API functionalities:
- Components like LibraryDateComponent, LibraryFileComponent, LibraryHTMLComponent, LibraryJSPComponent, LibraryLinkComponent, LibraryNumericComponent, LibraryPageNavigationComponent, LibraryTextComponent, LibraryUserNameComponent, LibraryUserSelectionComponent
- Managed Pages
- Projects
- Site Area Templates
- Workflow
- Workflow Actions
- Workflow Operations
These Wrapper APIs are created to bring their corresponding REST service for Web Content Manager V1 APIs to the V2 Swagger interface. WCM REST v2 Swagger API Explorer encompasses all search parameters that are available from WCM V1 in the existing Search API of WCM REST V2 Swagger Explorer.
For the WCM REST V1 version of the mentioned APIs, refer to How to manage web content items by using REST.
Note
The Wrapper APIs introduced in WCM REST V2 API explorer in CF217 adhere to the same API path or URI fragment structure as the WCM V1 APIs.
