Mobile Application Content Manager REST API

The IBM® Mobile Application Content Manager (MACM) REST API extends the Content as a Service (CaaS) REST API. MACM provides a set of predefined content items that represent specific queries against your MACM data store.

These content items are called MACM System Content Items. Additionally, the app developer might know the path values that point to further data as part of the contract between the app and the content structure on the authoring server.

Example:: The list of all books in the Samples library can be found at Samples/Content Types/Book. The app can now construct the corresponding entry URL by using the MACM base URL, the tenant name, and the content path. You can also copy the entry URL to individual views from the JSON view that is started from the MACM authoring UI by clicking the View JSON code icon <>. To go from the list to details, you use the item IDs that are served in the JSON to build the corresponding URLs.

MACM system content items
IBM Mobile Application Content Manager libraries contain a set of predefined content items that clients can address.
Basic authentication login API
Clients can do a basic authentication login to the IBM Mobile Application Content Manager service.
Served JSON formats
The JSON format that the API returns for individual content items is controlled by the corresponding JSON presentation components that are defined in your IBM Mobile Application Content Manager instance. Your MACM service generates the JSON presentation components for you when you create or update your content templates in the MACM authoring user interface. For more details, review the samples in the following subtopics.
How to access draft content in project scope
To select a specific project scope, you can extend the URL format of the URLs that are described in the other topics except for cases where you address open projects. Setting the project scope makes it possible to retrieve data for draft content.
