Content Source: Story Feed, Authors v4 endpoint

This the Arc Core Component representing a content source that hooks into the Content API portion of the Arc Suite and returns a feed of stories by a particular author.

The most important part is the pattern. This defines the endpoint that PageBuilder Fusion uses to look up content.

This Core Component takes advantage of PageBuilder Fusion's ability to use CONTENT_BASE to define the credentials for a Content API, ensuring that no private secrets are exposed.

Pattern:

/content/v4/search/published?q=canonical_website:${website}+AND+credits.by.slug:${authorSlug}&size=${feedSize}&from=${feedOffset}&sort=display_date:desc&website=${website}

Parameters:

This content source takes three parameters:

• authorSlug - the slug of the author, specified in Author Service
• feedSize - the number of stories you would like returned in the feed
• feedOffset - the number of stories you want to be offset from the start of the feed
