    Culture specific content from webApi call

    Umb 8.12.2

    Hi,

    I have a headless install with two languages. If I call an API endpoint, which extends UmbracoApiController, I only get back content in the default language. What's the best practice to get either all language variants or a specified language variant back?

    Thnx

    Hi Craig,

    Just looking into the same thing myself. Many of the Umbraco functions have a culture parameter. e.g.

        var title = node.Value("title", "it");
    var italianChildren = node.DescendantsOfType("blogEntry", "it");

    So, you need to update your controller to use this parameter. The culture is the ISO code (lower case), you can see that in Languages (under Settings).

    Stuart.

    I suggest you supply the locale in a header, or just in the path, and then set Thread.CurrentUICulture to the locale in question.

    The answer is here:- https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Reference/Language-Variation/

    Link provided by Jesper on the Umbraco Slack channel.

    So I can do things like https://mydomain.com/umbraco/api/getMyThings?culture=fr

    Works like a charm.
