Set up Contentstack

1. Set up Stack

A stack can be defined as a pool of data or a container that holds all the content/assets related to a site. This is the first page that will appear once you log in.

2. Create Content Types

This document is a detailed reference to Contentstack’s list of Content Types. Define the values of a page of your web or mobile property with Contentstack!

3. Set up Environments

A publishing environment can be defined as one or more content delivery destination (app/website) where the content needs to be published.

4. Create Tokens

Tokens are needed to authorize API calls. There are following types of tokens in Contentstack: Access token, Delivery token, Management token, and Authtoken.

5. Fetch Content

Contentstack is an API-first headless CMS platform; it provides the content backend (content repository and management), which is separate from the front-end (presentation).
