Pages V3

Overview

A page appears on a site that is associated with a channel.

Some pages, such as blog pages, contact forms, and plain-text or HTML pages, are web pages in the traditional sense. They contain markup (a body) and load at a relative page location on the site itself (the url). Other pages, such as link and feed pages, make external or non-visual content available from the menu of a parent page or by direct link.

Bulk operations

All endpoints without a pageId path parameter support bulk operations.
