Content Preview Service (content-preview)

Content Preview service serves published and unpublished content from Methode CMS (and in the future from Wordpress) so that journalists can preview unpublished articles in the context that closely matches the live publication on Next FT platform. It is one of internal services that comprise UPP read stack and as such is not meant to be accessible publicly but to collaborate with other services such as Content-Public-Read-Preview service, which in turn gives access to authenticated public API to read preview content. Content Preview service relies on Methode API service and Methode Article Transformer service; both underlying services are crucial to serve preview content
