Quickstart

1. Get your API key

Open your ContioReach workspace and navigate to:

Developer Settings → API Keys

Copy your blog API key.

Treat this value as a secret. Your API key should remain in server side code or a secure server environment.

2. Add your environment variables

Create a .env.local file:

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

Do not commit your real API key to source control.

3. Fetch your posts

Create a helper function:

export async function getPosts() {
  const response = await fetch(
    `${process.env.CMS_API_URL}/v1/blogs?limit=10&minimal=true`,
    {
      headers: {
        "X-API-Key": process.env.CMS_API_KEY
      }
    }
  );

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(
      `Failed to fetch posts: ${response.status}`
    );
  }

  const result = await response.json();

  return result.data;
}

The data property contains the posts returned by ContioReach.

That is the basic integration

• Your application requests the content.
• ContioReach returns structured JSON.
• Your frontend decides how to present it.
