Content Source: Story Feed, Sections v4 endpoint

This is 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 from one or multiple sections.

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?body=${encodedBody}&website=${website}&size=${feedSize}&from=${feedOffset}&sort=display_date:desc

Parameters:

This content source takes four parameters:

• includeSections - the sections you want to be included within your feed. Enter this as a comma-separated list of the Site Service IDs. Quotes are optional.
  • Example: "/news","/politics" will return a feed from the news and politics sections.
• excludeSections - the sections you want to be excluded from your feed. If a story is tagged with multiple sections, the stories with these sections will not appear.
  • Example: "/entertainment/movies" would ensure that stories with the section "/entertainment/movies" are not returned in the feed.
• 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
