API Dokumentation / Wiki

Die folgenden Seiten geben einen Überblick über die Funktionen des API (Programmierschnittstelle) des hyper Content & Digital Asset Management Servers.
Bitte beachten Sie, dass Sie in der Regel nur wenige Funktionen für die Entwicklung von Plugins oder speziellen Template-Funktionen, wie automatische Erstellung einer Navigation, Sitemap und so weiter, benötigen. Bitte studieren Sie den Template Designers Guide und Programers Guide für eine bessere Einsicht in die Handhabung dieser Funktionen.
Das API dient primär für die Umsetzung eigenständiger Anwendungen, die die Funktionen des hyper Content & Digital Asset Management Servers nutzen. Das API ist nicht mit dem OpenAPI zu verwechseln, welchen auf einer SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) basiert und nicht Bestandteil der Free Edition ist.

Fragen und Antworten bitte innerhalb der Google Group.
