Disclaimer: This endpoint documentation is generated from the latest Sitevision version. It might differ from the actual Sitevision environment where your website resides.

Use the RestApi utility of the Public API for server-side access of this endpoint.

Headless is a compound endpoint

The Headless endpoint is a convenience compound endpoint. It lets you retrieve comprehensive data about a node and its children in a single request, eliminating the need to call multiple endpoints.

If you only need a subset of this data, consider using the individual endpoints directly to avoid retrieving unnecessary information.
