LiveContent Central REST API

This section provides a complete reference for the LiveContent Central REST API.

The LiveContent Central REST APIs conform to the constraints of the REST architectural style and allow interactions with various LiveContent Central services. While the Content Service APIs return responses similar to those of the legacy APIs, the other service APIs return XML or JSON. These APIs are conversational, and you must obtain the web session and/or authentication token, using the authentication API, before proceeding to any other operations. RWS recommends the use of REST APIs for future customizations.
