Hello I want to create some new content like new document via rest api. Is there any rest api like POST `api/content/documents` or `api/content/gallery` to save new document or image in the cms? I see [this post](https://community.bloomreach.com/t/is-it-possible-to-create-update-a-content-document-in-hippo-with-rest-api/830) but I want some api like [this](https://www.jeroenreijn.com/2015/02/a_rest_api_for_the_hippocms_content_repository.html) for managing all entity like node, property, user and group. [This plugin](https://www.jeroenreijn.com/2015/02/a_rest_api_for_the_hippocms_content_repository.html) did not compatible with bloomreach 13. Is there a similar one for bloomreach 13? If no how can I write some api like this? Thanks. ---

Hi, You have two options to implement and expose JAX-RS based REST services: - Repository JAX-RS Service [1] - Plain JAX-RS Services [2] The former one is deployed on /cms application, whereas the latter is on /site application. The former with built-in Basic authentication, the latter without built-in authentication - but you can add authentication through Spring Security and integration addon module [3] for example. REST endpoints allow you to expose URLs, input and output params, so you need to use a API or library to create documents in repository. Content-EXIM [4] is a good library in any choices. For example, the groovy code example with the library [5] is a good source to reuse.

Thanks. For adding repository jaxrs service I add new module and a class like [documentation](https://documentation.bloomreach.com/library/concepts/hippo-services/repository-jaxrs-service.html). After build and run project, the api return > No service was found I add the new maven module in root of project. Then add the provided dependency and api class. Is there any sample project? ---

Perhaps there are better ones, but I have this: Content EXIM Built-in REST Services - [Hippo Content EXIM (EXport/IMport) Documentation – Built-in REST Services](https://bloomreach-forge.github.io/content-export-import/builtin-rest-services.html) Click on “Fork me on GitHub” ribbon and browse the “repository-jaxrs” submodule.

I get this message even with the sample project (conten-exim) ! Any additional tipps ?? I found out that the url I used was wrong: instead of **[http://localhost:8080/cms/ws/exim/export](http://localhost:8080/cms/ws/exim/export)**, I used **[http://localhost:8080/cms/ws/export](http://localhost:8080/cms/ws/export)** Consuming the webservice via **curl** , as described with the sample-project - works fine (I am only not able the read the zip-file). But how can I consume the webservice via a http-client. I am using YARC to test it. With the following header I get a 400-response! this is my request-header: ``` { "method": "POST", "transformRequest": [ null ], "transformResponse": [ null ], "url": "http://localhost:8080/cms/ws/exim/export", "headers": { "paramsJson": "{ documents: { queries: [ '/jcr:root/content/documents//element(*,hippo:document)' ] } }", "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data", "Accept": "application/octet-stream", "Authorization": "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=" }, "data": "", "timeout": {} } ``` What is wrong with the request ? ---

In the meanwhile I found the solution and I woud like to share it with the community. The paramsJson has to go in the data section as payload! `"data": "paramsJson = \"{ documents: { queries: ['/jcr:root/content/documents//element(*,hippo:document)'] } }\""` ---

Hey Woonsan, Greetings As per your suggestion, we are using _ **" Content EXIM Built-in REST Services"** _ for CRUD operations like **Create-item, Get-Item, Publish-item**. Somewhere while achieving this, We are having issues in modifying an item using **“PUT”**. Every time hitting **“PUT”** to modify field values it **changes the UUID**. I’m very thankful If you can help here or suggest something. - [https://bloomreach-forge.github.io/content-export-import/builtin-rest-services.html](https://bloomreach-forge.github.io/content-export-import/builtin-rest-services.html) Thanks Param ---

CMS workflow may updates the UUIDs of a document variant node or descendant nodes at any time, but its handle node’s (parent node of the document variant nodes) uuid will never change. Regards, Woonsan
