yes i have gone through those documentation but i dont now how those pages which are published i can use it in api and render those values in the api controller

what i am doing is going through some custom work and this is purely for learning purpose, so i am going through series of components which are used in umbraco and practically implement it in my website. i want to learn how i can implement umbraco api on my already built pages, lets say About us/blogs page, i have those page and i want to built an api used to display the data which is stored in the content area of the same . so how can i achieve this?? I may sound a bit inexperienced but i am very much interested in learning this things. Sorry in advance for my silly doubts.😇

This shows you how to implement an API controller for Umbraco:

https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/routing/webapi/

However, if you're just looking to get content nodes from umbraco you could use surface controllers.

Without seeing any code I can't exactly pinpoint what you want to do, but I think the links help a lot.

I have seen the documentation but i want some syntax or code snippets for the same, how to retrieve the umbraco content nodes data into an umbracoapi controller. can you please help me out i am stuck into this and cant find any proper solution. if possible can you give some code snippets regarding my topic of concern?? it will be great help. thanx in advance

i have an blog section and want to create umbraco api for the same, i have an running blog section in my website now i want to use api for the same. below i am giving an example of how my blog code is:

`@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage @{ Layout = "Webbase.cshtml"; }

    <div class="houserro_wrapper">
      <div class="houserro_section greenbg_wrapper">
        <div class="saledocs_wrapper">
          <div class="container">
            <div class="row">
              <div class="col-sm-12">
                <div class="about_title green_section">

                  <h3 class="post-title" itemprop="name headline" align="center" style="text-align:justify">@Umbraco.Field("blogTitle")</h3>
                </div>
              </div>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
        <div class="container container_for_mobile">
          <div class="container">
            <div class="row">
              <div class="col-sm-12 contact_section">
                <div class="content_wrapper Tabs_content_wrapper">
                    <div class="content-area">
                        <p class="post-meta">
                            <time class="dt-published"  itemprop="datePublished"><strong>@Umbraco.Field("articleDate", formatAsDate: true) </strong></time>
                        </p>

                        <p font size="6"><strong>
                            By <span>@Umbraco.Field("articleBy")</span>
                            </strong>
                        </p>

                        &nbsp;
                        <div class="post-content e-content" itemprop="articleBody">
                        <p><font size="4">@Umbraco.Field("blogDescp")</font></p>


                        </div><a class="u-url" href="/2018/07/12/one-simple-tool.html" hidden></a>
                     @Html.Partial("PageComments", new PageComment.Comments.Comment())

                    </div>
                </div>
              </div>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>`

below is model for the same

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web;

namespace Houseroo1.Models { public class BlogsArticleModel { public string Title { get; set; } public string Intro { get; set; } public string Url { get; set; } public DateTime ArticleDate { get; set; }

}

}

And this is the controller of the same :

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using Umbraco.Web.Mvc; using System.Web.Mvc; using Houseroo1.Models; using Umbraco.Core.Models; using Umbraco.Web; using Houseroo1.Extensions;

namespace Houseroo1.Controllers { public class BlogsController : SurfaceController { public string GetViewPath(string name) { return $"/Views/Partials/HomeContent/{name}.cshtml"; }

    public ActionResult RenderBlogs(bool isHomepage, int itemsToShow)
    {

        BlogsListModel model = new BlogsListModel();
        IPublishedContent homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf("home");
        IPublishedContent blogsList = homePage.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "blogsList").FirstOrDefault();
        List<IPublishedContent> blogsItems = blogsList.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "blogArticle").OrderByDescending(y => y.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("articleDate")).ToList();
        model.IsHomePage = isHomepage;

        List<BlogsArticleModel> blogsArticles = null;
        if(blogsItems != null && blogsItems.Count > 0)
        {

            blogsArticles = blogsItems.Select(x => IPublishedContentExtentions.ToBlogsArticleModel(x)).ToList();
        }
        model.Items = itemsToShow > 0 ? blogsArticles.Take(itemsToShow).ToList() : blogsArticles;
        return PartialView(GetViewPath("_BlogSection"), model);
    }
}

}

can you help me how to create an api controller for the same. can you advice me some syntax or code snippets from where i can know how its done.

also i saw a article here but in this the data is been used in normal controller "https://our.umbraco.com/forum/developers/api-questions/29127-Getting-data-from-umbraco-inside-a-controller" i want it in umbracoapi so how can it be done?

namespace Houseroo1.Controllers

public class BlogsController : SurfaceController
{
    public string GetViewPath(string name)
    {
        return $"/Views/Partials/HomeContent/{name}.cshtml";
    }

    public ActionResult RenderBlogs(bool isHomepage, int itemsToShow)
    {

        BlogsListModel model = new BlogsListModel();
        IPublishedContent homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf("home");
        IPublishedContent blogsList = homePage.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "blogsList").FirstOrDefault();
        List<IPublishedContent> blogsItems = blogsList.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "blogArticle").OrderByDescending(y => y.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("articleDate")).ToList();
        model.IsHomePage = isHomepage;

        List<BlogsArticleModel> blogsArticles = null;
        if(blogsItems != null && blogsItems.Count > 0)
        {

            blogsArticles = blogsItems.Select(x => IPublishedContentExtentions.ToBlogsArticleModel(x)).ToList();
        }
        model.Items = itemsToShow > 0 ? blogsArticles.Take(itemsToShow).ToList() : blogsArticles;
        return PartialView(GetViewPath("_BlogSection"), model);
    }
}

sorry for the formatting
