This endpoint allows for creation, modification, and retrieval of presentation objects. Note that BSN distinguishes between two types of presentation: 

  • Simple Presentation: A simple, non-interactive presentation that uses default configuration files on the server. REST APIs can be used to make changes to the Presentation instance directly by modifying the entries in the zones array.
  • Complete  Presentation: An interactive or non-interactive presentation that consists of configuration files that are uploaded by a client. The APIs are used to modify the files that belong to the presentation (using the files array): A client application must make edits to the presentation, then upload the payload of files to the /presentations/ endpoint. 

/presentations/

GET

Retrieves a list of presentations on the network.

URL Parameters

  • marker: A value specifying which page to retrieve. This value is useful if the isTruncated entry in the response body of the previous GET call indicates that the number of Presentation instances exceeds the pageSize.

  • filter:  An expression for filtering search results. The following are accepted expressions:
    • [entry] IS '<value>'

    • [entry] IS IN ('<value_a>','<value_b>', [...])
    • [entry] IS NOT IN ('<value_a>','<value_b>', [...])
    • [entry] BEGINS WITH '<value>'
