CUC24 Cascade CMS Rest API Workshop

We'll be using this repository for our CUC24 Cascade CMS Rest API Workshop!

The original repository was created by Philip Kukla. His repository included a JS library that primarily uses NodeJS and Google Scripts but also had a vanilla JS fetch option. Although the library itself was great, the standout piece for me was the Rest API operations documentation! I had been working on my own library on and off for a couple of years now, it focuses on client side JS you can run without a lot of setup but useful enough for a few small client facing scripts. I just never had time to polish and finish it. Until now, kind of! With Philip's permission, I forked his repository, updated a few things here and there and fully replaced the library itself. If you prefer to use NodeJS and/or Google Scripts, I highly suggest you check out his library!

Cascade Documentation

You can find an openAPI representation of Cascade CMS's WSDL operations here:

https://nandoblanco.github.io/cuc24-cascadecms-restapi-workshop/swagger-ui/

All information originates from Cascade CMS's WSDL operations page. In order to access this you will need to use your organization as a subdomain followed by this url: cascadecms.com/ws/services/AssetOperationService?wsdl

Example: yourOrg.cascadecms.com/ws/services/AssetOperationService?wsdl

General Usage

To use the library you will need to define your Cascade CMS URL and Cascade CMS API Key (v8.16 and later). The apiKey is generated in your Cascade dashboard. The url is yourOrg.cascadecms.com/api/v1/ (this is the current version as of 1/9/2023).

//Example
const cmsUrl = "https://xxxx.cascadecms.com/";
const cmsAPI = "xxxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxx-xxxxxx";

Example Operations

// read asset
readAsset({
    type: "page",
    id: "page ID",
}).then(function(result) {
    console.log(result);
}).catch(function(error) {
    console.log(error);
});

// edit asset
readAsset({
    type: "page",
    id: "page ID", 
}).then(function(result) {
    result.apiReturn.asset.page.metadata.title = "NEW TITLE";
    editAsset({
        asset: result.apiReturn,
    }).then(function(result) {
        console.log(result);
    }).catch(function(error) {
        console.log(error);
    });
}).catch(function(error) {
    console.log(error);
});
