Content Types

markdownView as Markdown

Content type defines the structure or schema of a page or a section of your web or mobile property. To create content for your application, you are required to first create a content type, and then create entries using the content type.

Additional ResourceTo get an idea of building your content type as per webpage’s layout, we recommend you to check out our Content Modeling guide.

You can now pass the branch header in the API request to fetch or manage modules located within specific branches of the stack.

NoteBranches is a plan-based feature that is available only in the new Contentstack interface.

Additionally, you can also set the include_branch query parameter to true to include the _branch top-level key in the response. This key specifies the unique ID of the branch where the concerned Contentstack module resides.

Get all content types

GEThttps://cdn.contentstack.io/v3/content_types?include_count={boolean_value}

The Get all content types call returns comprehensive information of all the content types available in a particular stack in your account.

When executing the API call, you can add queries to extend the functionality of this API call.

TipIf any of your content types contains a Global field and you wish to fetch the content schema of the Global field, then you need to pass theinclude_global_field_schema:true parameter. This parameter helps return the Global field's schema along with the content type schema.

To query your content types, under the Query Parameters section, insert a parameter named query and provide the query in JSON format as the value. To learn more about the queries, refer to the Queries section of the Content Delivery API doc.

NoteThis API request will return a maximum of 100 content types. To retrieve the next batch of content types, make use of the skip parameter (or refer Pagination for more details).
