A Node represents a location within the navigational structure of a website. The linking of nodes as parent-child relationships forms the hierarchical structure of a website, with a node having a single parent and (optionally) multiple child nodes. A single entry can optionally be assigned to a node.

Properties

Name Type Description
Id GUID The node identifier
ProjectId string The API identifer of the project the node belongs to
DisplayName string The node display name
Path string The node path, e.g. "/movies/action/taken"
ParentId GUID? The parent node identifier. If the node is the root node then it will be null
Language string The language the node represents
EntryId GUID? The optionally assigned entry identifier
ChildCount int The count of child nodes
IsCanonical bool A flag to indicate whether the node is the canonical
Version NodeVersionInfo The node version information
IncludeInMenu bool A flag that determines whether the node should be included in menus
