Brandcast API

The Brandcast API lets developers programmatically perform Design Studio actions across 26 operations: list and read templates, create a website from a template, read and update website content, add or upload media via S3 presigned URLs, publish and unpublish sites as asynchronous jobs, export a publish as a ZIP, password-protect a site, and configure the Salesforce tracking that makes Brandcast sites personalized and trackable. Requests are authenticated with an API key in the x-api-key header, sent over HTTPS. The contract is published as Swagger 1.2 at s3.amazonaws.com/apidoc.brandcast-prod.io and rendered by Swagger UI 1.x on developer.brandcast.io; it has not changed since 2021-07-01.
