Available Page Blocks

Headless API

FlowCMS exposes a comprehensive API layer that lets you fetch, create, update, and manage content from any application. Both REST and GraphQL endpoints are available with full type safety.

GET /v3/content/articles ?limit=10&sort=-publishedAt
Authorization: Bearer your_api_key
X-Flowcms-Version: 2025-01-15

POST /v3/content/articles
Authorization: Bearer your_api_key
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "title": "How to Build a Headless CMS",
  "slug": "build-headless-cms",
  "body": "...",
  "tags": ["cms", "tutorial"],
  "status": "published"
}

query GetArticles {
  articles(limit: 10, sort: "-publishedAt") {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        title
        slug
        body { json }
        author {
          name
          avatar { url }
        }
        tags { label color }
        publishedAt
      }
    }
  }
}

import { FlowCMS } from '@flowcms/sdk';

const client = new FlowCMS({
  apiKey: process.env.FLOWCMS_API_KEY,
  environment: 'production',
});

// Fetch articles with full type safety
const articles = await client.getEntries({
  contentType: 'article',
  limit: 20,
  where: {
    status: 'published',
    tags: { contains: 'cms' },
  },
});

// Create with auto-validation
const newArticle = await client.createEntry('article', {
  title: "New Post",
  body: { type: "doc", content: [] },
  seo: { metaTitle: "SEO Title" },
});
