Publish to K-Link from the website

Let's integrate the search on "Improved KM" in our OneOffTech website

The K-Link has an Application Programming Interface (API) we can use

The API is protected so we need a developer account

Step 1

Authentication

  • The K-Link imposes the authentication of the application that wants to perform actions
  • The application must run on a domain, e.g. website.com
  • The community administrator can deny the registration

github.com/k-box/k-search-client-js

Add the Open Source K-Link client to your site

Configure the library

A bit more on the library

There are various configuration options Behind it there is a client that can be used without the UI, so you can create your interaction 


							npm install https://github.com/k-box/k-search-client-js#master
						

							yarn add https://github.com/k-box/k-search-client-js#master
https://github.com/k-box/k-search-client-js

This is a total custom integration

that you can create using the library
