Acquia Content API
The stable JSON:API 1.1 surface shared by every Acquia Source CMS site, plus the OAuth 2.0 endpoints that issue the tokens it accepts. Ten operations cover token issuance, the authorization redirect, the resource-type index, and JSON:API collection/entry/relationship reads and writes. The base URL is the customer's own site, so servers[] is templated on {siteUrl}; the per-bundle endpoint list is generated on each site at API > OpenAPI documentation.
