APIs

Contentstack is an API-first headless CMS that offers multiple APIs to manage, deliver, and extend content. These APIs empower both developers and integrations to interact with Contentstack in flexible and powerful ways.

Supported API Types

• Content Delivery API (CDA): Fetch published content and assets from Contentstack to render on any frontend or digital experience platform.
• Content Management API (CMA): Create, update, and manage content entries, assets, environments, and more—programmatically. Ideal for automation, integrations, and back-office systems.
• Image Delivery API: Optimize and transform images dynamically at the point of delivery. Resize, crop, format-convert, and apply filters directly via the URL.
• GraphQL API: Query only the content you need with Contentstack’s GraphQL endpoint—ideal for modern frontend frameworks and client-side rendering.
• Experience Extensions: Use REST or GraphQL with Extensions (such as webhooks, Lambda functions, and UI extensions) to build custom capabilities.
