Orchard API

data-service

The inquiry

How might every Castalian work be discoverable and usable by sites, agents, devices, and future catalogs?

Story

A machine-readable interface over Orchard works, states, relationships, assets, releases, and invitations to contribute. The work is presented here as part of a living system rather than as an isolated product: its meaning comes from the people, practices, and neighboring works that make it useful.

The need for a structured schema and reusable registry was established.

Freeze the first JSON schema, expose a static read API through Pages, and demonstrate one consumer beyond the website.
