Mezzanine API is a RESTful web API for the popular Mezzanine_ content management platform. It is built upon the Django_ framework, using JSON for serialization and OAuth2 for secure authentication. The API empowers developers to automate, extend and combine Mezzanine with other services such as mobile apps.

Why use the API?

• Freedom: build mobile, web, or server apps and use whatever programming language you want
• Speed: harness a significant speed advantage over Mezzanine's Python based page views

Features

• Intuitive REST API resources for posts, categories, comments, pages, users, and site/app metadata. Retrieving or updating data involves simply sending a HTTP request.
• Easily filter and search content
• Industry standard OAuth2 API authentication allows users to authorize and revoke access to third party applications
• Web browsable API
• Interactive API resource documentation
