You can access a basic REST API documentation on /api

This API is built using API Platform

Authentication

To use it you need get a JWT token using your username and your password by calling

POST /api/authentication_token
{
   "username": "johndoe",
   "password": "password"
}

Then for every requests to the API, add the following header :

Authorization: Bearer the_jwt_token

Usage

Content type

• Most endpoints are using application/json for the content type
• POST endpoints supporting file upload are using multipart/form-data
• PATCH endpoints are using application/merge-patch+json

The content-type to use is specified in the documentation found on /api

Reference to another object

When adding a reference to another object using an id, using an IRI is required (the IRI is the same as the GET route of this object)

In the example below, we are adding a new Field to a Template :

POST /api/fields
{
    "name": "Publisher",
    "position": 0,
    "type": "text",
    "template": "/api/templates/fdae6221-1c18-48f4-b5e0-646ffe652949"
}

PUT vs PATCH

When using PUT endpoints, you have to send the whole data

PUT /api/fields/31baaf77-9a0d-4ec4-b1e4-442ba46873c8
{
    "name": "New Publisher",
    "position": 0,
    "type": "text",
    "template": "/api/templates/fdae6221-1c18-48f4-b5e0-646ffe652949"
}

On the contrary, PATCH endpoints allow to update only the required data

PATCH /api/fields/31baaf77-9a0d-4ec4-b1e4-442ba46873c8
{
    "name": "New Publisher"
}

I would recommend using PUT instead of PATCH

Known limitations

1. No access to admin features
2. No access to sharing features (you can't see someone else content)
3. Uploads only work for POST requests
