ContentType

The content type defines the structure or schema of a page or a section of your web or mobile property. To create content for your application, you are required first to create a content type and then create entries using the content type.

You can now pass the branch header in the API request to fetch or manage modules located within specific branches of the stack. Additionally, you can also set the include_branch query parameter to true to include the _branch top-level key in the response. This key specifies the unique ID of the branch where the concerned Contentstack module resides.

referenceIncludeGlobalField

The "Get all references of content type" call will fetch all the content types in which a specified content type is referenced.

NoteYou must use either the stack's Management Token or the user Authtoken (anyone is mandatory), along with the stack API key, to make a valid Content Management API request.

You need to use either the stack's Management Token or the user Authtoken (anyone is mandatory), along with the stack API key, to make a valid Content Management API request

import contentstack;

Contentstack contentstack = new Contentstack.Builder().build();

ContentType contentType = contentstack.stack().contentType();

Call<ResponseBody> response = contentType.referenceIncludeGlobalField().execute();

if (response.isSuccessful) {

    System.out.println("Response" + response);

}

importOverwrite

The "Import a content type" call imports a content type into a stack by uploading a JSON file.

Call<ResponseBody> response = contentType.importOverwrite().execute();

if (response.isSuccessful) {

    System.out.println("Response" + response);

}

fieldVisibilityRule

The "Set Field Visibility Rule for Content Type API request" lets you add Field Visibility Rules to existing content types. These rules allow you to show and hide fields based on the state or value of certain fields.

Name	Type	Description
requestBody (required)	JSONObject	The request body.

import contentstack;

Contentstack contentstack = new Contentstack.Builder().build();

ContentType contentType = contentstack.stack().contentType();

}

addParam

Name	Type	Description
key (required)	String	Query parameter key for the request.
value (required)	Object	Query parameter value for the request.

import contentstack;

entry

An entry is a content created using one of the defined content types.

body (required)	JSONObject	The request body.

import contentstack;

Contentstack contentstack = new Contentstack.Builder().build();

ContentType contentType = contentstack.stack().contentType();

Call<ResponseBody> response = contentType.create(body).execute();

if (response.isSuccessful) {

    System.out.println("Response" + response);

}

reference

The "Get all references of content type" call will fetch all the content types in which a specified content type is referenced.

NoteYou must use either the stack's Management Token or the user Authtoken (anyone is mandatory), along with the stack API key, to make a valid Content Management API request. Read more about authentication. You need to use either the stack's Management Token or the user Authtoken (one of them is mandatory), along with the stack API key, to make a valid Content Management API request.

    System.out.println("Response" + response);

}

imports

The "Import a content type" call imports a content type into a stack by uploading a JSON file.

Contentstack contentstack = new Contentstack.Builder().build();

ContentType contentType = contentstack.stack().contentType();

Call<ResponseBody> response = contentType.imports().execute();

if (response.isSuccessful) {

    System.out.println("Response" + response);

}

export

This call is used to export a specific content type and its schema. The data is exported in JSON format. However, please note that the entries of the specified content type are not exported through this call. The schema of the content type returned will depend on the version number provided.

NoteYou must use either the stack's Management Token or the user Authtoken (one of them is mandatory), along with the stack API key, to make a valid Content Management API request.

import contentstack;

Contentstack contentstack = new Contentstack.Builder().build();

ContentType contentType = contentstack.stack().contentType();

Call<ResponseBody> response = contentType.export().execute();

if (response.isSuccessful) {

    System.out.println("Response" + response);

}

find

The "Get all content types" call returns comprehensive information on all the content types available in a particular stack in your account.

          if (ctResponse != null) {
           ContentTypePojo ctPojo = ctResponse.getContentPojo();
           System.out.println(" Content Type UID: " + ctPojo.uid);
           System.out.println(" Content Type Title: " + ctPojo.title);
     }
 }  else {

if (response.isSuccessful() && response.body() != null) {
    ContentTypesResponse ctResponse = response.body();
    List<ContentTypePojo> contentTypes = ctResponse.getContentTypes();
    for (ContentTypePojo ct : contentTypes) {
