The Content Module is implemented with the plg_jbackend_content plugin. It provides functions related to Joomla content (articles and categories). Here is the list of supported methods.
action=get module=content resource=categories rootid=<R> (optional) recursive=<true or 1> (optional) countitems=<true or 1> (optional)
<end-point>?action=get&module=content&resource=categories&rootid=<R>&recursive=<false>&countitems=<0>
<end-point>/get/content/categories?rootid=<R>
{ "status": "ok", "total": <T>, "categories": [ { "id": "<category id>", "title": "<category title>", "description": "<category description>", "parent_id": "<parent category id>", "numitems": <items count> }, ... { "id": "<category id>", "title": "<category title>", "description": "<category description>", "parent_id": "<parent category id>", "numitems": <items count> } ] }
If rootid is specified, starts to get subcategories from the specified category id instead of the root category. If recursive is true or 1, get categories and all subcategories, otherwise get only one level (default). If countitems is true or 1, return the number of articles of each category, otherwise do not return this information (default). Category id can be "root" for root node.
