Feeds for REST services | HCL Digital Experience
When you access a REST service to get information or to modify a portal resource, the response and in some cases also the request works by means of a feed. A feed contains information about one or more portal resources in a specific format as exposed by portal models. Learn how you obtain feeds for portal resources and what the format of such feeds is.
You can request a feed by sending an HTTP request to a specific URL. A requested feed can contain links to dependent resources that can be used to request those resources iteratively. In order to modify resources, you can modify such a feed or create a new feed and send it to a specific URL by using an HTTP request.
Example: A feed that exposes full information on a layout container of a content page:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<atom:feed xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
xml:base="/wps/mycontenthandler/"
