Where is the Teamsite (Not Livesite) API documentation?

TS 7.4 win

I getting a request to locate api documentation in regards to Teamsite, we only use forms publisher and not Livesite. Does anyone know where this is located? I'm combing the support documentation and my search hits only result in Livesite data.

Thanks

If you download the CSSDK, you should find the Javadocs in it.

What kind of API are you looking for?

As Nipper pointed out - there is the CSSDK which is a Java API to most of the TeamSite functionality - but depending on what you (or the people who are asking you to do this) are looking for - this might not be what you / they are looking for.

If you can provide more context about what API or what you / they are looking to do with the API - it would help to ensure you get a relevant answer (if pointing you to the CSSDK wasn't relevent)

The request came like this, "

I'm exploring other integration types with Teamsite and am trying to learn more about what TeamSite can do with regard to exposing it's content and workflows via webservices, if it has them. The use case is that authoring would continue to be done with Teamsite and that the content would be consumed via an API and integrated into the websites. The idea here to separate the content from the way the content is rendered, allowing the display of the content to be managed by the tier that consumes the content.

I've seen that Teamsite has a command-line interface but would really like to know what's possible via web services. Can you ask them for their API docs? Ideally we are able to consume a RESTful API from Teamsite but would be interested in a SOAP interface too if available."

Thanks!

Read my 1st response. The CSSDK has a SOAP interface. Provide it to the user and they can peruse the Java docs.

This is absolutely the wrong design for this platform. TeamSite is not intended to act as a runtime repository. In fact, you usually don't even want TeamSite to be sitting in the DMZ on the wrong side of your firewall. You typically author content in TeamSite and then deploy it to a file system or database or [insert runtime repository of your choice], optionally generating static HTML content from source along the way. Your runtime would talk to that repository to retrieve the content, not TeamSite. BTW, you may want to look into the HP LiveSite Content Services -- it's a runtime repository that provides a RESTful API for content deployed from TeamSite, and may hit your requirement at least in the short term.
