Improvements to Content Delivery API
Fixed in: EPiServer.ContentDeliveryApi 2.9.0 [ID: HAPI-10]
Episerver has updated the Content Delivery API making it more efficient in pulling product information from the Commerce catalog. The API now renders the commerce content with Vue and React in a JSON format. This update simplifies and improves a developer’s ability to get product information faster.
More options for Content Delivery API
Fixed in: EPiServer.ContentDeliveryApi 2.9.0 [ID: HAPI-534]
Episerver added several options for its Content Delivery API. Developers now have more control to specify how they receive a JSON response and what can be returned within it. The API includes local blocks as well. If a developer makes a JSON request that includes a local block, its content will be available within the JSON response.
