Content Distribution customization
The Content Distribution system includes two APIs, one for integrating your publishing system into the Content Distribution system, and one for providing custom Content Distribution Client agents.
Publishing API
The Web Content Publishing Protocol Web Content Publishing Protocol is the API to use for integrating your publishing system into the Content Distribution system. Because you can use any software to create new Web content, you must create a custom application that initiates the Content Distribution process when new files for your Web site are published by your publishing system.

Client agent API
The Content Distribution Client agent API allows developers to adapt the Content Distribution system to work with file systems for which a client agent is not provided. A client agent provides communication between the Content Distribution Client software and the Web server, proxy server, or application server that uses the data sent by means of the Content Distribution system. The client agent API gives you the ability to develop your own agents for communication with proprietary software.
