Atom Introspection Overview
An introspection document provides clients with the necessary information to formulate a request and send to a system. Six Apart provides introspection documents to clients in the form of an Atom feed. This Atom feed contains the references necessary for a client to:
- retrieve a list of weblogs
- retrieve a list of photo albums (TypePad only)
- retrieve a list of TypeLists (TypePad only)
Then for each weblog, photo album, or TypeList the introspection document provides a pointer, or URL to an Atom endpoint that clients can use to:
- retrieve a list of entries
- retrieve a list of categories
- upload files
- create, update, delete and read weblog entries
