Get Preview of an Item by slug

get

/content/published/api/v1.1/items/.by.slug/{slug}/preview

Previews the latest management version of the item by its slug value that is ready for publish or published. An item is uniquely identified by its slug.
Note: This API requires authentication to preview the item.

Each preview item has the following information:

1. Standard fields: These are fields created by the system.
   
   • id: ID of the item.
   • type: Type of the item.
   • name: Name of the item.
   • typeCategory: Category of the type.
   • description: Description of the item.
   • slug : A URL part that identifies content item in human-readable format.
   • language : Language of the Item.
   • createdDate: First published date of the item on the channel requested.
   • updatedDate: Last published date of the item on the channel requested.
2. User-defined fields: These are fields created by the user when the type is defined. All user fields are available under the fields node.

Request Headers (Optional):


Header Name	Header Value
channelToken	{valid channel token value}
Accept	application/json

Request

Path Parameters

• slug: string
  Slug value of the Item to be previewed.

Query Parameters

• channelToken(optional): string
  Channel token of the publish target. A channel token must be provided as either a query parameter or a request header.
• expand(optional): string
  Expand parameter provides the option of getting child resources (referenced items) inline with the item's response. Accepts a comma-separated list of field names or all. All the user-defined field names should be provided with prefix fields and followed by a period (.). If these fields are of a reference type, then the resource expands their data inline in the response. Field names are case-sensitive. When expand is specified as all (in lowercase), all the fields of the reference type of the requested item are expanded. When expand is not specified, the item response contains links to the referenced items.
  Expansion of this form is supported for one level only, a request to expand beyond the first level of referenced fields will produce response HTTP 400. When the expand contains a nonexisting field as per the type definition of the requested item, the resource produces HTTP 400.
  Examples:
  

  expand=fields.field1,fields.field2

  expand=all

  where field1, field2 are names of the user-defined fields in the type to which this item belongs.
• links(optional): string
  Accepts a comma-separated list of rel (relation) links, which the client requires in the results. By default, all the applicable links in a resource are included in the response. Possible values are: self, canonical, describedby.
  Example: links=self,canonical will only return the links with the rel property self or canonical.
