Content Service
The Content Delivery Content Service, or Content Service for short, is the Web service that delivers content from the Content Delivery environment to the Presentation Server. It can also be used for integration with affiliate Web sites.
- Content Service API
An exhaustive list of the API for the Content Service, which is a partial implementation of the OData protocol. - Content Service Linking API
The separate Linking API of the Content Service gets HTML representations of the various types of links. The linking commands are exposed under the URL/linking.svc/relative to the root of the Content Service. - Mapping Publication IDs to friendly URLs
By default, your Content Service calls refer to Publications by their IDs, not their Web site URLs. For your convenience, you can map a Publication ID to the URL of the site that the Publication ID represents, or to another property of the Publication. - Accessing the Content Service from Flash or Silverlight
When you access the Content Service from Adobe Flash or Microsoft Silverlight, each of these technologies requires you to host a cross-domain policy file from your Web application server to make cross-domain access possible. - Integration with affiliate Web sites
In addition to enabling client-server communication within Content Delivery, Content Service can also make distinct pieces of content of your Web site available to third parties such as social networking sites or partner Web sites. This is a growing trend on the Web, ideal for maximizing cross-selling opportunities. A Web service that makes content from one Web site available to another must satisfy a number of requirements. The Content Service places a thin layer on top of the specific Content Delivery APIs for JSP and ASP.NET, intended to specifically satisfy these requirements.
