Content

Retrieves a single content item from a project.

This endpoint is useful for retrieving a specific piece of content, such as an article or blog post.

Endpoint

shell

curl https://api.contentisland.net/api/1.0/content --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'

Query Params

This endpoint accepts the following query parameters:

interface QueryParams {
  id?: Filter;
  contentType?: Filter;
  language?: Filter;
  `fields.${string}`?: Filter; // Allows filtering by specific field values
  // For example: 'fields.slug': 'my-post'
}

Note

The id of the content you want to retrieve.

You can find the content id in your project’s Content tab, either in the list or in the content details.

Note

The contentType filter is somewhat redundant, but can be useful to ensure the content being retrieved belongs to a specific model.

If the id doesn’t match the model, no content will be returned.

Name	Description
id	The ID of the content you want to retrieve. This parameter must be a string. Example: /content?id=1234 You can find the content id in your project’s Content tab.
contentType	The model of the content to retrieve. Example: /content?id=1234&contentType=post
language	The language of the content to retrieve. Only fields in the selected language will be returned. Example: /content?id=1234&language=es
fields.${string}	Allows filtering by specific field values. Examples: /content?fields.slug=my-post /content?fields.title[in]=hello%20world,hola%20mundo Retrieves content with fields matching the specified values.

type Filter =
  | string
  | {
      in?: string[];
    };

Note

More filters will be added in the future

Name	Description
