Accessing Publication Content
If you know the publication name, language code, and document ID of a topic, you can form a RESTful URL to access a publication, or topic in different formats. This RESTful URL structure can be used instead of some of the API calls in the content module.
Using the /content/ folder triggers RESTful URL syntax. These URLs provide an easy way to access a topic or publication without using more complicated URLs or multiple URL parameters (for example, &pub=Doc&lang=en&docid=task_896796).
-
To load a publication's home page, use only the language code and publication name. For example:
/KnowledgeCenter/content/<lang>/<pub name>This URL can be used instead of the home action in the Publication Management module.
-
To load a publication's home page and then open a specific topic, use only the language code, publication name, and document ID. For example:
/KnowledgeCenter/content/<lang>/<pub name>/<document-ID> -
To load the HTML of a topic independent of the publication page, use only the language code, publication name, document ID, and format type. For example:
/KnowledgeCenter/content/<lang>/<pub name>/<document-ID>/htmlThis URL can be used instead of the doc_html action in the Content Objects module.
-
To load a topic in PDF format, use only the language code, publication name, document ID, and format type. For example:
/KnowledgeCenter/content/<lang>/<pub name>/<document-ID>/pdfThis URL can be used instead of the doc_pdf action in the Content Objects module.
-
To load the source XML of a topic, use only the language code, publication name, document ID, and format type. For example:This URL can be used instead of the xml action in the Content Objects module.
/KnowledgeCenter/content/<lang>/<pub name>/<document-ID>/xml
