The Endeca Presentation API provides the interface to the Endeca
MDEX Engine. You use the API to query the MDEX Engine and manipulate the query
results.
List of Endeca APIs
Depending on the packages you installed, your Endeca installation may include one or more sets of Endeca APIs. This topic lists APIs and provides a brief overview of each API set.
Architecture of the Presentation API
In a typical Endeca-based application that uses the Presentation API, the MDEX Engine communicates with the web application using the Presentation API.
One query, one page
The data that the MDEX Engine returns in response to a query includes all of the information that the application modules would need to build an entire page for a typical application.
About query result objects returned by the MDEX Engine
The MDEX Engine returns its results for all query types—navigation, record search, dimension search, and so on—in the form of a top-level object that is contained in an ENEQueryResults object. These top-level objects are complex objects that contain additional member objects.
