Every page no collection holds

GET
/api/site-pages

The site’s own pages — its documentation, its about page and its indexes — each with its address, its title and what it is about.

A collection is a group of pages a query can narrow to, and these belong to none, so a search never returns them. This address is how their routes are learned, and /api/pages/{+path} then answers about one. The site root is /api/pages/index, the name its markdown twin takes as well, because a path of one separator expands to no segment.

This resource answers HEAD as well, with the same headers and no body.

It also answers OPTIONS, which returns Allow, a Link to this description, and — where the resource takes one — the query formats it reads, as Accept-Query.

Query Parameters

limit?integer

How many items to return. Omitted, the whole list comes back. A value that is not a whole number of at least 1 reads as no bound rather than as an empty page. total in the body says how many exist either way.

Response Body

application/json

application/problem+json

curl -X GET "https://example.com/api/site-pages"
{  "items": [    {      "path": "string",      "title": "string",      "description": "string"    }  ],  "count": 0,  "total": 0}

# Every page no collection holds

The site’s own pages — its documentation, its about page and its indexes — each with its address, its title and what it is about.

A collection is a group of pages a query can narrow to, and these belong to none, so a search never returns them. This address is how their routes are learned, and `/api/pages/{+path}` then answers about one. The site root is `/api/pages/index`, the name its markdown twin takes as well, because a path of one separator expands to no segment.

This resource answers `HEAD` as well, with the same headers and no body.

It also answers `OPTIONS`, which returns `Allow`, a `Link` to this description, and — where the resource takes one — the query formats it reads, as `Accept-Query`.
