Content API

1 Introduction

The Mendix Content API allows you to retrieve versions of both public and private company-specific Marketplace content.

If you have Marketplace content, this API can help you get the following information:

• The latest version of the content used, allowing you to keep track of outdated content on your side and check for newly added versions including release notes
• The latest version that is compatible with your Mendix Studio Pro version
• Component details such as content type, category, and license

2 Authentication

Authentication for the Content API uses a personal access token (PAT).

2.1 Generating a PAT

For details on how to generate a PAT, see the Creating a PAT section in Mendix Profile.

Select the following :

Select mx:marketplace-content:read as the Marketplace scope in orde to perform GET operations.

Copy and store the generated value ({GENERATED_PAT}) somewhere safe so you can use it to authorize your API calls.

2.2 Using the PAT

Each request must contain an Authorization header with the value MxToken {GENERATED_PAT}.

Here is an example:

GET /content HTTP/1.1
Authorization: MxToken 7LJE…vk

To authenticate calls when using the OpenAPI specification below, click Authorize and use the value MxToken {GENERATED_PAT}.
