Feature Description

The Content Guardian provides an API to accessing the content in the CCS. It works with the O’Reilly Ownership Service API and the Janrain authentication system to deliver solid ACL and global URL’s to the O’Reilly content.

• Implement ACL logic and rules to handle previews, paid access, group access, and other business logic.
• Whitelisting for searchbots, like Google
• Ability to show preview for users coming from Google or other social media channels.  
• Ensure compliance with Google’s first click free program.
• Ability to work with logged-in Janrain users.
• Ability to allow/disallow access based on O’Reilly ownership service API
• Ability to generate a “mega index page” that lists canonical links to all content in the CCS.  This should be accessible to the search crawlers.  (Note that these can be paged, with “next” and “prev” links that the crawlers will follow.)

Success Criteria

• Enable Google to crawl our content and return results in Google searches securely

Maximum Level of Development Effort
