Query Pages using REST

Question

I've developed a newsfeed app part that currently gets its information from a list, however we're keen to have article pages that we can click through too.

So far I've not found anything in the REST API to access pages or their content, is this doable via REST or do we need to stick to lists?

Thanks, Ben

For getting the pages you could utilize the same REST endpoint that is used for getting List Items, for example: http://<site url>/web/lists/getbytitle('<list title>')/items(<item id>)

JavaScript Example

function getListItem(webUrl,listName,listItemId, complete, failure) 
{    
    $.ajax({       
       url: webUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listName + "')/items(" + listItemId + ")",   
       type: "GET",   
       processData: false,  
       contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
       headers: {   
          "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose"
       }, 
       success: function (data) {           
           complete(data.d);   
       },      
       error: function (data) {            
           failure(data);    
       }  
    });
}

Usage

The following example demonstrates how to retrieve the page and print its properties:

getListItem(_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl,'Pages',2,printPageDetails,logError);

function printPageDetails(pageItem)
{
    console.log('Page Content: ' + pageItem.PublishingPageContent);
    console.log('Page Title: ' + pageItem.Title);
}

function logError(error){
    console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
}
