Usage

Public Browser

API Browser can publish a read-only version of the documentation for developers who do not have an admin account.

Enabling it

  1. Open API Browser in the admin and click Public visibility.
  2. Tick the resources to expose. Select all and Select none are available for large lists.
  3. Click Save settings.

Until at least one resource is selected, the public pages are empty.

Where it lives

Page URL
Public browser /api-browser
Public OpenAPI (JSON) /api-browser/openapi.json
Public OpenAPI (YAML) /api-browser/openapi.yaml

The public browser is served at the site root, not under a site slug, and uses the same interface as the admin browser without the request console or credential selector.

What visitors see

  • Only the resources you selected.
  • GET operations only: search and read. Create, update and delete are never shown, whatever the resource allows.
  • The same query parameter, JSON-LD key and schema reference as the admin browser, and the same code examples without a key filled in.

Listing a resource here does not change who can call the real API. Anonymous requests to /api are still governed by Omeka's permissions, which for most resources means public items are readable and everything else requires a key.
