UI Theme Designer Help

UI theme designer help

Context

The UI theme designer documentation is served by https://help.sap.com via a JSON HTTP API:

• Deliverable metadata — resolves human-readable identifiers to internal IDs and provides the flat readable-URL-to-loio mapping: GET https://help.sap.com/http.svc/deliverableMetadata?product_url=btp&deliverable_url=ui-theme-designer&version=LATEST Returns data.deliverable.id (deliverable_id), data.deliverable.buildNo, and data.filePath (landing page file path).

• Page content — fetches the HTML body of a single topic, and optionally the full hierarchical TOC: GET https://help.sap.com/http.svc/pagecontent?deliverable_id={id}&buildNo={buildNo}&file_path={loio}.html Returns data.body (HTML). With the extra param deliverableInfo=1 also returns data.deliverable.fullToc — a recursive tree of {t: title, u: filename, c: children[]} nodes covering all 80+ topics.

Procedure

Use curl -s to call all API endpoints, and jq to parse the JSON responses.

1. Fetch deliverable metadata to obtain deliverable_id and buildNo:

   curl -s "https://help.sap.com/http.svc/deliverableMetadata?product_url=btp&deliverable_url=ui-theme-designer&version=LATEST" | jq '{id: .data.deliverable.id, buildNo: .data.deliverable.buildNo, filePath: .data.filePath}'
   

2. Fetch the landing page with deliverableInfo=1 to get the full TOC tree:

   curl -s "https://help.sap.com/http.svc/pagecontent?deliverableInfo=1&deliverable_id={id}&buildNo={buildNo}&file_path={filePath}" | jq '.data.deliverable.fullToc'
   

3. From the TOC, identify the topic(s) whose title best matches the user's question. If uncertain, pick 2–3 candidates.
4. For each candidate, fetch its page content and strip HTML tags:

   curl -s "https://help.sap.com/http.svc/pagecontent?deliverable_id={id}&buildNo={buildNo}&file_path={loio}.html" | jq -r '.data.body' | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' | tr -s '\n'
   

5. Answer based on the retrieved content.
