We are working on a custom solution to use content from AEM instance. Using HTTP API(http://localhost:4502/api/content/sites/geometrixx/en.json) we can get details of page but not the content inside a custom solution. I am wondering if using HTTP API we can also get page content. If no, which API we can use to get the content of pages? Can anyone please suggest.

Technically, you can use -1.json to get complete data under content node

but Using default .json rendered is not the idea solution to consume data from AEM. There are two better ways you can look at

1. Sling Model Exporter - https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/kt/platform-repository/using/sling-model-exporter-tutorial-develop.html

2. Content as a Service - https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/kt/sites/using/structured-fragments-content-services-feature-video-use.html

@edubey, thanks for your quick response. I am not getting complete data using HTTP API. For page http://localhost:4502/api/content/sites/geometrixx/en/toolbar/contacts.json I am getting json containing properties of page but not the exact content showing on the page as contacts. Also, second point seems to be applicable to AEM 6.3 only.
