Source CMS provides robust API capabilities that enable you to access and manipulate content programmatically. With this functionality, you can build custom applications, integrate with other systems, or create headless experiences using your content.
JSON:API
The primary API for Source CMS is based on the JSON:API specification, which provides a standardized way to request and manipulate resources.
JSON:API is a specification for building APIs that:
Use JSON as the data format
Provide a consistent structure for requests and responses
Define clear conventions for filtering, sorting, and pagination
Allow for including related resources in a single request
Support sparse fieldsets to limit the data returned
Resources
In the context of Source CMS, API resources include:
Content: Articles, pages, and custom content types
Media: Images, documents, videos
Taxonomy terms: Categories, tags, and other classifications
Users: Account information for authenticated users
Menus: Navigation structure
Each resource is identified by its type and unique ID, and includes attributes (the resource's properties) and relationships (connections to other resources).
