Content Fetch API

Using Agility as a Headless CMS

What is it?

  • A REST API for all your Pages and Content
     
  • Hosted and maintained by Agility CMS
     
  • API is behind a CDN and can support millions of requests
     
  • All SDKs are open-source via GitHub
1

Why?

  • Freedom - You can use any programming language or framework to get content from Agility CMS
     

  • It's fast! - API requests never hit your content database, won't affect your CMS users, and can handle millions of requests - even in preview mode!
     

  • More stable - API requests are handled by a global CDN using Stackpath

Why?...

  • Write less, and better performant code - this API will auto-resolve linked content dependencies so you don't have to make multiple API calls to get/sort the content you need
     

  • It's flexible - Just want to use Shared Content to manage structured content? Sure, go ahead. Want a more dynamic approach using Pages? You can do that too.
     

  • Reduced complexity - You don't need to be a full-stack developer to integrate with our CMS.

Use Cases

  • Prefer a Headless CMS architecture
     

  • Multiple platforms such as a website, iOS and/or Android app and want a single source of content
     

  • Building a website using a static site generator such as Gatsby JS
     

  • Building a web app that does not require SEO

Use Cases...

  • Consume content on-demand from a CMS
     

  • Tech stack contains different programming languages and frameworks and you need a platform-agnostic approach to consuming content from a CMS
     

  • You have an existing site that you want to power some content from a CMS without having to re-write the whole site
