Content API

The Content API provides functionality to discover content such as images, videos, music, or others.

It is possible to search for specific content using filters. The API also supports setting the attributes of specific content.

Remark: In order to access files, a proper privilege has to be defined additionally:

if (content.editableAttributes.indexOf("isFavorite") >= 0)
{
  content.isFavorite = true;
