API module

Created 6 years ago by pdring

Can the API module expose a stream as JSON with GET and PUT requests? I have a functional Angular demo using AG-Grid and dummy REST data which I would now like to couple to a PyroCMS installation.

The API module is ready only out of the box - and can expose any stream you want and decorate data too. However for putting information - you would wanna make your own endpoints which is also very easy.

There is the groundwork for saving / deleting in the API but I've not enabled it. Need to work on API permissions a little for the next version and will be able to support that as well out of the box.

So is it indeed possible to update and delete stream entries through a REST API, just not out of the box? I see an increasing number of applications rely on this method.

That's correct, yes. Just define your own endpoints (which is a route/controller method).
