Is there a way to access the actual HTML content that was created within the CMS admin area from the JSON API? I can use this to get the CMS entry: http://localhost:8000/admin/default/jsonadm/cms/2 but not the content.

Do you need the CMS content in the frontend or backend?

I'm thinking on the front end. We are building our own front end, but would love to be able to do small managed bits of content on the site that is edited by the admins.

For the frontend, you have to use the frontend JSON API:
https://aimeos.org/docs/latest/frontend/jsonapi/basics/

The resource is "cms", e.g. "http://localhost:8000/jsonapi/cms" and to get the content too, you need to include the text resources:
http://localhost:8000/jsonapi/cms?include=text
or more specific:
http://localhost:8000/jsonapi/cms?include=cms.text

Thanks for the information. The first URL works great, especially if I have an ID, I can get the specific content.

The second URL: "http://localhost:8000/jsonapi/cms?include=cms.text" doesn't seem to return anything different. You had said "more specifc", but I'm not following what it was supposed to do?

[aimeos]

There was a bug in processing "cms.text" which is now fixed in the latest 2023.10 version of the aimeos/ai-cms-grapesjs package.

For CMS items it makes no difference but for e.g. products, it will returns only product texts if you specify "attribute,catalog,supplier,product.text" instead of the text items from the other related domains too.

Got it, that makes sense.
