NeuroomNet CMS for Software Developers

This chapter introduces the API / programming interface to the NeuroomNet CMS. Using this programming interface is required to:

  • Programmatically retrieve / download content stored in the CMS (e.g. to retrieve CMS content from the CMS in exhibit software)
  • Define the hierarchical structures and data formats in the CMS (currently not yet possible via the frontend1)
  • (Content can also be uploaded to the CMS via the API)

For CMS users who only want to maintain data, reading or understanding this chapter is not required.

For the Node / JavaScript platform, there is now also the "NeuroomNet CMS Client" / Library, which simplifies the use of the NeuroomNet CMS from Node programs and is recommended for that purpose: "NeuroomNet CMS Client". Even in this case, however, at least a rough reading of the actual API / basics of the CMS is recommended.

Footnotes​

  1. In the longer term it is planned that CMS structures can also be created, deleted, and managed overall via the frontend. This has not had a high priority so far because the structures are generally created by developers anyway, who can do this via the API after brief familiarisation (and have full flexibility there). ↩
