Custom Endpoints

The video discusses the Scripting API in dotCMS Web Developer Training, which allows for creating custom REST endpoints using velocity template files. It enables users to expose content data in specific formats without Java or OSGI plugins. The API provides access to content, requests, and responses, allowing CRUD operations on any content type. Endpoints are created by placing VTL files in designated folders, with file names corresponding to HTTP methods. The Scripting API complements standard dotCMS REST APIs by offering a lightweight, flexible solution for project-specific requirements. It simplifies endpoint creation, management, and deployment without server configuration changes.
