Benefits of the Content API
There are four common uses for the Content API:
You may decide to produce an external dashboard which displays a feed of your most recently published posts, potentially intended to be displayed on a big screen.
Similarly, you could create an external dashboard which displays a feed of your Social Media Management organization’s up-coming scheduled or drafted posts.
You may decide to create a custom insights report to discover, for example, the number of posts broken down by Channel, group of Channels (locales), media type, or label.
Using the add publication labels endpoint, you may decide to build a custom logic to label specific content after it has been successfully published.
