API

The template includes a basic API for fetching its metadata and content in a JSON format.

To activate the API, turn on the api collection in _config.yml:

collections:
  api:
    output: true

Note that if you don’t need the API, leave it off, since generating it will add time to your site builds.

There is documentation on the API in _api/index.md. When the API is on, you can visit that page at /electric-book/api.
