API Documentation

API Documentation / Wiki

The following pages provide an overview about all functions of the API (Application Programming Interface) of the hyper Content & Digital Asset Management Server.
Please note, that you might usually only require few functions for the development of Plugins, template functions like navigation, sitemap and so on. Please read the Template Designers Guide and Programers Guide for a better insight.
The API is primarily used for the implementation of standalone applications that leverage the capabilities of the hyper Content & Digital Asset Management Server. The API is not to be confused with the OpenAPI, which is based on a SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), and is not part of the Free Edition.
