Environment Setup

The variables

CMS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
CMS_API_URL=https://cms-api.contioreach.com

Local development

Place them in your local environment file. For Next.js:

.env.local

Example:

CMS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
CMS_API_URL=https://cms-api.contioreach.com

Restart your development server after changing environment variables.

Production

Add the same variables to your hosting environment. Examples include:

• Vercel Environment Variables
• Netlify Environment Variables
• Cloudflare secrets
• Container environment variables
• Your cloud provider's secret management system

Your production API key should not be committed to your repository.

Create a reusable configuration

You can keep your ContioReach configuration in one place:

export const contioreach = {
  apiUrl:
    process.env.CMS_API_URL ||
    "https://cms-api.contioreach.com",

  apiKey: process.env.CMS_API_KEY
};

Then reuse it across your server side content functions.
