Content Management API

[API VERSION : 3.0.0]

Introduction

Base URL

For US region: https://api.contentstack.io/

For European region: https://eu-api.contentstack.com/

Overview

Contentstack is a headless, API-first content management system (CMS) that provides everything you need to power your web or mobile properties. To learn more about Contentstack, visit our website or refer to our documentation site to understand what we do.

This document is a detailed reference to Contentstack’s Content Management API.

The Content Management API is used to manage the content of your Contentstack account. This includes creating, updating, deleting, and fetching content of your account. To use the Content Management API, you will need to authenticate yourself with authtoken. Read more about it in Authentication.

The Content Management APIs also include many GET requests. However, it is highly recommended that you always use the Content Delivery API to deliver content to your web or mobile properties.

Authentication

To make any Content Management API (CMA) requests, you need to first obtain an Authentication token (authtoken) and then pass it as a header in each Content Management API request. An authtoken contains information that web APIs use to validate a user and to ensure that the user has the required permissions to perform the actions that they are requesting.

To retrieve the authtoken, log in to your Contentstack account by using the ‘Log in to your account’ request under ‘User Session’. This request will return the authtoken in the response body.

You can generate multiple authtokens by executing the ‘Log in to your account’ request multiple times. These tokens do not have an expiration time limit. However, currently, there is a maximum limit of 20 valid tokens that a user can use per account at a time, to execute CMA requests. If you already have valid 20 tokens, creating a new authtoken will automatically cause the oldest authtoken to expire without warning.

For SSO-enabled organizations, the ‘Log in to your account’ request will not return the user authtoken for users who access the organization through Identity Provider login credentials. Consequently, any requests that require user authtoken will not work. Only the owner of the organization and users with permission to access the organization without SSO can use the Content Management APIs. Read more.

In Content Delivery API (CDA), you use the delivery token, which is a read-only token, to only fetch content and not edit or create new content. However, you can use the CMA-generated authtoken in CDA requests too, instead of the access token, and it will work exactly in the same manner. Learn more.

Rate limiting

Rate limit is the maximum number of requests you can make using Contentstack’s API in a given period. For Content Management API requests, we have set a maximum limit of 10 requests per second per organization.

Also, we have set a limit on stack creation. Organizations can create only one stack per minute.

To get the current rate limit status, you can check the returned HTTP headers of any API request. These rate limits are reset at the start of each time period.

Headers Description
X-RateLimit-Limit The maximum number of request a client is allowed to make per second per organization.
X-RateLimit-Remaining The number of requests remaining in the current time period.

Note: Your application will receive HTTP 429 response code if the requests for a given time period exceed the defined rate limits.

API conventions

  • The base URL for Content Management API is api.contentstack.ioand for the European region the base URL is eu-api.contentstack.com.
  • The API version (in our case, 'v3') can be found in the URL, e.g. api.contentstack.io/v3/endpoint.
  • Content Management API supports GET/POST/PUT/DELETE verbs or methods.
  • URL paths are written in lower case.
  • Query parameters and JSON fields use lower case, with underscores (_) separating words.
  • The success/failure status of an operation is determined by the HTTP status it returns. Additional information is included in the HTTP response body.
  • The JSON number type is bounded to a signed 32-bit integer.

Errors

If there is something wrong with the API request, Contentstack returns an error.

Contentstack uses conventional, standard HTTP status codes for errors, and returns a JSON body containing details about the error. In general, codes in the 2xx range signify success. The codes in the 4xx range indicate error, mainly due to information provided (for example, a required parameter or field was omitted). Lastly, codes in the 5xx range mean that there is something wrong with Contentstack’s servers; it is very rare though.

Let’s look at the error code and their meanings.

 
HTTP status code Description
400 Bad Request The request was incorrect or corrupted.
401 Access Denied The login credentials are invalid.
403 Forbidden Error The page or resource that is being accessed is forbidden.
404 Not Found The requested page or resource could not be found.
412 Pre Condition Failed The entered API key is invalid.
422 Unprocessable Entity (also includes Validation Error and Unknown Field) The request is syntactically correct but contains semantic errors
429 Rate Limit Exceeded The number of requests exceeds the allowed limit for the given time period. 
500 Internal Server Error The server is malfunctioning and is not specific on what the problem is.
502 Bad Gateway Error A server received an invalid response from another server.
504 Gateway Timeout Error A server did not receive a timely response from another server that it was accessing while attempting to load the web page or fill another request by the browser.

Reference

Users

All accounts registered with Contentstack are known as Users. A stack can have many users with varying permissions and roles. Read Users to learn more.

Note: Before executing any calls, retrieve the authtoken by authenticating yourself via the Log in call of User Session. The authtoken is returned in the 'Response' body of the Log in call and is mandatory in all of the calls. Example: blt3cecf75b33bb2ebe

User Collection

Get user

Try

The Get user call returns comprehensive information of an existing user account. The information returned includes details of the stacks owned by and shared with the specified user account.

Update user

Try

The Update User API Request updates the details of an existing user account. Only the information entered here will be updated, the existing data will remain unaffected.

When executing the API call, under the 'Body' section, enter the information of the user that you wish to update. This information should be in JSON format.

Note: To update the role of an existing user, refer the Update Existing User Role API Request.

Delete user

Try

The Delete user call deletes the current authenticated user permanently from your Contentstack account.

Activate User

Activate a user account

Try

The Activate a user account call activates the account of a user after signing up. For account activation, you will require the token received in the activation email.

Request Password

Request for a password

Try

The Request for a password call sends a request for a temporary password to log in to an account in case a user has forgotten the login password.

Using this temporary password, you can log in to your account and set a new password for your Contentstack account.

In the 'Body' section, provide the user's email address in JSON format.

Reset Password

Reset password

Try

The Reset password call sends a request for resetting the password of your Contentstack account.

When executing the call, in the 'Body' section, you need to provide the token that you receive via email, your new password, and password confirmation in JSON format.

Note: Before using this call, you need to run the 'Request Password' call to receive the reset password token in your registered email address.

User Session

User session consists of calls that will help you to sign in and sign out of your Contentstack account.

Logging in/out

Log in to your account

Try

The Log in to your account request is used to sign in to your Contentstack account and obtain the authtoken.

Note: The main difference between authtoken and access token is that authtoken is a mandatory parameter when it comes to managing content via Content Management API calls, and on the contrary, access token is required only when retrieving content via Content Delivery API calls.

In the 'Body' section, enter the user credentials in JSON format. The JSON query will include the email address, the Contentstack user account password, and the two-factor authentication token (if enabled) received in the Authy app or SMS.

For SSO-enabled organizations, the ‘Log in to your account’ request will not return the user authtoken for users. In this case, you can try out the following:

  • The owner of an organization can access the SSO-enabled organization through Contentstack credentials and retrieve the user authtoken to make Content Management API requests.
  • Disable 'Strict Mode' for an SSO-enabled organization, and users who have the ability to access their organization through Contentstack credentials can retrieve the authtoken to make Content Management API requests.

For more details, refer the REST API Usage - Content Management API section in the Single Sign-On page.
