API Endpoints for Row Management

Overview of API Endpoints for Rows

Beefree SDK provides robust APIs for managing rows. These API endpoints enable operations such as saving, retrieving, syncing, merging, and organizing rows, making them essential for maintaining design consistency and managing shared rows.

Row-Related API endpoints

  1. Merge Rows API endpoints

    • Purpose: Updates linked rows across multiple designs by replacing outdated content with new versions. Ideal for batch-updating designs or maintaining consistent synced rows.

  2. Synced Rows API endpoint

    • Purpose: Retrieves all rows marked as "synced," ensuring centralized tracking of synced rows across templates.

  3. Index Rows API endpoint

    • Purpose: Generates metadata for template rows, enabling better organization and search capabilities. Create structured catalogs of rows with attributes like categories, names, or tags.

Row Endpoints and Descriptions

Merge Rows

Endpoint: POST https://api.beefree.io/v1/{collection}/merge-rows

Merge Rows

post

The Merge Rows endpoint enables you to integrate custom fonts and resized images into your designs. It saves custom fonts within the template's JSON, ensuring the correct font is displayed. It also handles image resizing, particularly when the image's initial template width is narrower than the saved row's destination template. To use this endpoint, send your template and rows in JSON format. You will receive a response with an updated template. The rows requiring an update are identified by their rowIdentifier values.

Workflow Example

  1. Retrieve Synced Rows: Use the Synced Rows endpoint to identify synced rows across designs.

  2. Modify a Synced Row: Update the row and submit changes using the Merge Rows endpoint.

  3. Verify Updates: Confirm that updates are reflected in all linked templates based on the Merge Rows response.
