Welcome to the PlanetPress Connect
REST API Cookbook
This guide is aimed at technically experienced users who wish to learn and use the REST API
available in PlanetPress Connect version 2021.1.
The PlanetPress Connect REST API consists of many services that expose access to a
number of areas including workflow, data entity management and file store operations.
These services can be used to perform various interactions with the PlanetPress Connect
server such as:
l Upload and manage data files, data mapping configurations and templates in the file
store
l Create, manage and find data entities internal to the PlanetPress Connect server
l Create and monitor processing operations within the workflow
The REST API also supports added security to restrict unauthorized access to the services.
This guide is broken down into three sections:
l Technical Overview Overview of the concepts and structures used in PlanetPress
Connect and the REST API
l Working Examples Working examples of the PlanetPress Connect REST API in action
(HTML5 & JavaScript/jQuery)
l REST API Reference A complete reference to the PlanetPress Connect REST API and
services
It is recommended that the technical overview section be read first, followed by the working
examples, using the REST API reference for greater detail on implementing any specific
example.
