RESTApp

RESTApps enables the creation of custom REST endpoints in SiteVision. This allows for flexible Headless CMS implementations based on SiteVision. RESTApps also offers a powerful and simple way to enrich SiteVision websites with new ways of presenting data, as well as new ways of creating and managing content. RESTApps are developed outside of SiteVision in any code editor.

In order to make calls to a REST app, REST API must be enabled under Website Settings.

How to add a RESTApp in Sitevision

To add a RESTApp, go to the Add-ons view on your website.

In the Add-ons view, click Import in the sidebar to download your RESTApp. The file must be packaged as a .zip file. 

A box with information about your RESTApp appears during import. The information is retrieved from the RESTApp's manifest file. Here you also add the name you want to give the RESTApp. It is important to remember that the name will become part of the RESTApp's URL.

Import settings

The URL for RESTAppen will be: https://<website>/rest-api/restappurl

When the RESTApp is added, it is displayed under the heading Versions. You can have several versions of your RESTApp, but only one can be active. You can also see if the RESTApp is signed by Sitevision if there is a check mark in the Signed column.

To learn more about how to manage your RESTApp, go to the administration page.

This feature requires that you have the "Manage Add-ons" permission.
