REST API integration
Strapi REST API integration for Draftbit
Use Strapi collection REST endpoints
What is Strapi?
Strapi's REST API exposes collection and single types based on content permissions. Public content can be read without a token, while protected reads and writes need a bearer token.
Use Strapi with Draftbit
- Built-in endpoints: List entries, Get entries, Create entries, Update entries, Delete entries.
- Bind any Strapi endpoint to a screen, list, form, or AI agent action.
- Authentication is configured once per app — secrets stay on the server.
- Add custom request and response transforms without forking Strapi's client library.
Example
strapi-example.ts // Example: fetch from Strapi
const response = await fetch("https://{strapi_host}/api/{content_type}", {
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_STRAPI_TOKEN",
},
});
const data = await response.json();Use cases
- Drive a blog, news feed, or content section from a headless CMS
- Let non-engineers publish app content without a release
- Localize copy and assets without code changes
Authentication
Authentication uses the `Authorization` header. Paste your key once in Draftbit and every request to Strapi carries it automatically — secrets stay on the server side.
