ExternalAuditor

The ExternalAuditor sends content to external web service for auditing and judges the results returned by the external service.

Class

info.magnolia.services.seo.audit.impl.external.ExternalAuditor

ExternalAuditor is a convenient way to plug in a third party service (link a SEO ranking service or a spelling and grammar service) into Magnolia. An ExternalAuditor can be applied to different content types in Magnolia, for example a story defined in the Story app.

An ExternalAuditor does the following:

  • renders the selected content into a format suitable to the external service

  • builds a request to the external service with the formatted content and any additional parameters

  • sends a POST request to the external service and receives the results

  • processes the results to determine if the audit is passed or judged as a error, warning or not
