Using non-EDS site content in EDS site

Hi,

 

I have an AEM headless site in AEM cloud, is it posisble to use that content in EDS site ?

I have tried AEM cloud authoring for EDS and Document based authoring and works as expected, and able to use same codebase for both approaches, but i want to use existing AEM non-EDS site content in EDS website, is it possible ?

 

and also is there any documentation on using Content fragments in EDS site ?

 

 

Thanks,

Parvathi

    Hi @parvathiso1 ,

     

    Yes, you can use Content Fragment from non-EDS site on EDS. You can find these APIs here: https://developer.adobe.com/experience-cloud/experience-manager-apis/api/stable/sites/ . More documentations:

    - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/developing/open-api-based-apis 
    - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/headless/apis-headless-and-content-fragments

    - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/headless/aem-rest-openapi-content-fragment-delivery

     

    These APIs requires authorization (token), that you can't persist in EDS code base. That's why you will need to build a middleware between EDS and non-EDS site (Open API) to authorize requests to API.  https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/headless/security/authentication#retrieving-access-token

      Hi, 

       

      >>These APIs requires authorization (token), that you can't persist in EDS code base.

       

      why? we cannot directly call GraphQL in EDS code base(In JS file) ?

      like below

      Web component/JS - AEM Headless Example | Adobe Experience Manager

       

      Do we have any document for middleware reference.

       

      Thanks,

      Parvathi

      I checked that example and saw credentials to connect to local author there as well. However, you are right, the GraphQL is publicly open endpoint on publisher. So, you can easily use it.
