- use document api to get document content info. Good place to start are the msdn style docs found here
- use the webservices available oob or build your own that provide the necessary info for 3rd party systems. Just have to enable webservices in umbracoSettings.config before being able to use the webservices.
<webservices enabled="True">
<!-- You must set user-rights for each service. Enter the usernames seperated with comma (,) -->
<documentServiceUsers>admin</documentServiceUsers>
<fileServiceUsers>your-username</fileServiceUsers>
<stylesheetServiceUsers>your-username</stylesheetServiceUsers>
<memberServiceUsers>your-username</memberServiceUsers>
<templateServiceUsers>your-username</templateServiceUsers>
<!-- type of files (extensions) that are allowed for the file service -->
<fileServiceFolders>css,xslt</fileServiceFolders>
</webservices>
in this case, webservices are enabled and admin user has access to the documentService service.
Thanks for the reply. Is there any sample VS 2008 project solution available in Blogs or forum where i can download and try understanding suing the web services, etc?
Actually... i want this scenario to do...
Customers will do content authoring using Umbraco which i need to fetch using umbraco APIs and use in some set of web applications. I want to read only the publish nodes of Umbraco and also like to iterate through the Content Tree in Umbraco to get the desired data from Umbraco CMS database.
I have a webapplication with n-tier layered architecture as following
# Presentation Layer
# Business Entities
# Business Logic Layer
# Data Access Layer
In Data Access Layer (Assembly),
I need to fetch the Umbraco Data ==> Data Transformed to Business Entity (Generics collections) ==> respond to Business Logic Layer in the format of Business Entities .... and not in the format of Document or DocumentType, etc...
This is something like...
I want to achieve the abstraction of CMS layer from Presentation layer.
Hope you are getting what i am expecting to acheive. Please suggest.

3. Say i need to get the Content Tree representation and lookup the Documents programmatically through API?
Hi Bharath,
A few options to explore:
- use document api to get document content info. Good place to start are the msdn style docs found here
- use the webservices available oob or build your own that provide the necessary info for 3rd party systems. Just have to enable webservices in umbracoSettings.config before being able to use the webservices.

Hope this helps.
