Alfresco exposes a number of different REST-like APIs. The one you probably refer to is the latest Cloud API which is indeed only available for Cloud instances.
There are also a number of other REST APIs that are always present in each and every installation of Alfresco, local installs included. Assuming you installed Alfresco locally, and that it responds to
http://localhost:8080/alfresco, you can browse all the available REST APIs by going to”EDIT: you need admin rights to access that URL. If you are not an admin of that instance, you can have an idea of which kind of APIs you get access to by visiting
The credentials will be
admin:admin. That instance runs Alfresco 4.0.0 Community.
