api/trans/blurb

Gets a blurbified version of blobs via CDB

• Only content whose content-type or media-type starts with text/ is processed. In all other cases it will throw an exception.
• The service strips all html tags from the text before passing it back to the client.
• If the content is an html document only the contents of the tag are processed. Contents of all other tags are discarded.
• If the content is a wikipedia document, a pre-rendered blurb is requested. If the blurb is not found an error is returned.

Note that the ID (/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000001daf5) is the ID of a /common/document associated with a topic, not the ID of the topic itself. Thus, given a topic, you must first issue a MQL query read for a /common/document associated with it through the /common/topic/article:

{ "id" : topicID,
  "article" : [{ "id" : null, "optional" : true, "limit" : 1 }]
}
