## Details

You can use `getSites` to get a list of all sites in the repository.
If you are only interested in a single site and you have its ID, you
can use `getSite` to access it. Alternatively, you can use `getSiteContent`
or `getSiteMembers` to extract just the `contents` and `members` properties
of the site.

You can also delete a site using `deleteSite`. If the `permanentFlag` parameter
is set to false then the site will be moved to the trash rather than being
deleted immediately.

Both `getSite` and `getSites` have an `opts` parameter to supply extra
options. See the Alfresco JS API docs about
[getSites](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-js-api/blob/master/src/alfresco-core-rest-api/docs/SitesApi.md#getSites)
and
[getSite](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-js-api/blob/master/src/alfresco-core-rest-api/docs/SitesApi.md#getSite)
for more information about the available options.
