Web Services API reference

This section contains information for developers to develop applications on top of the Content Manager Web Services API.

With the Web Services API, customers can develop custom applications that integrate with Content Manager, such as tools to support their specific authoring, review, translation and publication processes. Web Services support three technologies: OpenAPI on the one hand, and the older WCF .SVC (Windows Communication Foundation) the older .ASMX, which enable remote use of the API25 library, on the other hand.
