Headless Delivery API

Headless Delivery API

The Headless Delivery API is provided by the CoreMedia Headless Server, a component which allows access to CoreMedia content as JSON through a GraphQL endpoint. That means, it does not deliver, for example, complete HTML pages but only the content from the CMS as JSON data. This way, you as a customer, are free to use the frontend technology of your choice.

In addition, the Headless Server offers a Java API which you can use for extensions of the Headless Server.

Use Cases

The Delivery API supports most of the CoreMedia features such as:

• Multi-Site/Language delivery
• Responsive images
• Rich text transformation
• Image maps and shoppable videos
• Navigation and page grid support

Studio contains a JSON preview client which displays the content as JSON.
