Response Formats

The API supports three output formats, controlled by the output query parameter.

Format	Value	Description
JSON	json (default)	Most detailed metadata for fine-grained control over rendering
RSS	rss	Standards-compliant RSS 2.0 feed, suitable for RSS readers or intranet components
HTML	html	Fully marked-up HTML, suitable for embedding via iframe with minimal coding

JSON (default)

JSON responses contain the richest metadata, including icons and image URLs that can influence visual rendering.

RSS

RSS output follows the RSS 2.0 standard with the addition of an image per item. This allows the API to be plugged directly into an RSS reader or an inbuilt RSS component within your intranet (e.g. a SharePoint web-part).

HTML

HTML output can be embedded directly into your application via an iframe with almost no coding required, at the expense of visual customisation.
