How to call API after publishing content

[fang_29]

Hi all,

I want to ask how to call an API every time when the users publish the content?

Hi @fang_29 

To call an API every time a user publishes content, you can create an OSGi event handler that listens for the com.day.cq.replication.ReplicationAction.EVENT_TOPIC event. This event is fired whenever content is replicated in AEM, which includes when content is published.

Here is sample code you can use and play around with:

@Component(service = EventHandler.class, property = {
    EventConstants.EVENT_TOPIC + "=" + ReplicationAction.EVENT_TOPIC
})
public class MyEventHandler implements EventHandler {

  @Reference
  private SlingHttpService slingHttpService;

  @Override
  public void handleEvent(Event event) {
    // Check if the event is a publication event
    if (ReplicationAction.isPublicationEvent(event)) {
      // Get the path of the published content
      String path = ReplicationAction.getPath(event);
      // Call the API
      callAPI(path);
    }
  }

  private void callAPI(String path) {
    // Use the SlingHttpService to make a request to the API
    slingHttpService.doPost("/api/call", null, null, new HtmlResponse() {
      // Implement the onSuccess and onError methods to handle the API response
    });
  }
}
