Setting up Guillotine

Contents

This section describes how to install and access the Guillotine API

Installation

Guillotine is available as an Enonic app. Guillotine will normally be pre-installed when you create a new solution in the self-service cloud, or when setting up a new SDK Sandbox.

To install it manually, follow the instructions on Enonic Market.

Endpoints

Once installed to your Enonic environment, Guillotine exposes two endpoints per content project:

  • HTTP POST :8080/site/<project>/draft - Drafts API

  • HTTP POST :8080/site/<project>/master - Live API

  • HTTP GET :8080/site/<project> - optionally serves Query Playground

<project> must be replaced with an actual content project in your installation.

Enonic Cloud / Kubernetes

When using Enonic’s self service hosting (or the Enonic K8s Operator), expose the API publicly by creating an Ingress.

You may expose an entire project, or just a selected branch. The following example exposes the entire project:

In your Ingress, specify the target as /site/<project> (where <project> is replaced with your actual project name).

If the Ingress is example.com/api, you will now be able to access the master and draft API’s on example.com/api/master and example.com/api/draft respectively.

The draft API is access protected by default

Using Vhosts

For other hosting options, you may explose the API on custom domains or URLs using vhosts:

Examples for a project called myproject.

Example - mapping API to myapi.com 
mapping.my-api.host = myapi.com
mapping.my-api.source = /
mapping.my-api.target = /site/<project>/master
Example - mapping entire project root example.com/api 
mapping.example-api.host = example.com
mapping.example-api.source = /api
mapping.example-api.target = /site/<project>

For more details about vhosts, check out the XP documentation
