Create Content Types of Each Base Type

Last Updated: Jul 22, 2020
documentation for the dotCMS Content Management System

A new Content Type in dotCMS can be created via REST API of any of the several different types of Base Content Types that exist in dotCMS. Each of these different Base Content Types may have their own specific required system fields so that they operate in the same way within the system. Below are JSON file examples of how to create Content Types of each base type, including an example of how to inject more than one Content Type into the sytem at a time via REST API.

Curl Command

Each of the following code examples create new Content Types, assuming that the example code is placed in the bodyCreate.json which is being called by the following curl command:

curl -v -u admin@dotcms.com:admin -XPOST http://localhost:8082/api/v1/contenttype -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @bodyCreate.json

Examples

Content Type - No Identifier: Base Content Type

Creates a standard Content Type without sending a custom identifier.
