API Documentation
Section Overview
In this section, we will be exploring how to make requests for blog post data as well as what blog data looks like. We will go over how to get a list of all current blog posts and how to fetch a specific post and its data. Blog posts are articles written by the team at Blue Screen Studios that not only show up on our news page which can be found at bluescreenstudios.net/news, but also can be fetched through the BSS API!
Getting post Identifiers
All blog posts have an identifier associated with them that helps our service provider distinguish each post from one another. In order to get the data associated with a blog post, you will need to pass its identifier into the request URI.
To get a list of identifiers for our blog entries you will need to make a GET request to https://bluescreenstudios.net/_functions/blogEntries
The response you receive should look similar to the image above, containing a status code and an array of strings. This array contains strings representative of the identifiers associated with all available blog posts. Check the JSON Objects - Quick Reference for more information on what JSON data should be in your response.
