Typical applications for the API

The API is for users who need to use ContentDirector in a customized manner. Some examples are

Creating a custom user interface for ContentDirector, for security or standardization. This interface can present a subset of ContentDirector features to users, such as only destinations and existing jobs.
Including ContentDirector functionality in the user interface for another application, such as an HTML authoring application that includes pushing updated content to selected destinations.
Automatically initiating content distribution based on an event-driven trigger, for example, pushing updated content to a specified destination group when a sales figure is incremented by a threshold amount.
