Strapi: development features and setup
Strapi is a content management system that generates an API for its content types. It separates content editing from the website or application that displays the content.

Overview
When you create a content type, endpoints for reading, creating, and updating it become available. This suits a catalog or repository consumed by multiple channels. Keep in mind that relations, media, and components are not necessarily returned automatically. The request must select the required data and comply with the configured permissions.
Features
- REST API generated from content types
- Filtering, sorting, and field selection
- Permission management for content access
Business uses
- A product repository that feeds a website and an application
- Ingest approved content from an external work system
Getting started
- Define a content type with fields and a clear ID
- Create an appropriate API permission and a test item
- Check that media and relations are returned using the documented parameters
What to check
- Check compatibility with the Strapi version, since the response structure varies between versions
- Private content requires authentication and permissions. Do not make access public as a default solution
