We’re currently using dotcms version 3.7.1 and we’re trying to automate our campus directory weekly update process, if possible, and I was wondering if the built-in REST API feature could be used to both inquire against and then used to perform needed structure updates to existing data entries, as well as add brand new structure entries?
I don’t know much about the REST API, and am still trying to research and better comprehend how it can be used.
Thanks for the help.
Henry

So it sounds like adds and updates shouldn’t be a problem then.
What about specifying relationships for adds and updates through the REST API? Possible?
What about deleting entries?
Are they also possible through the REST API?

you can search content and save new content. You would need a little java to alter content types

John,
I’ve not used the REST API much before so any new information about how to use it is very welcome.
Thanks for the help.
