JSON API

A read-only public API at /orbiter/api/[collection]. Returns all published entries as JSON.

Endpoints

GET /orbiter/api/[collection]

Returns all published entries in the collection. Same shape as getCollection().

Example

curl https://your-site.com/orbiter/api/posts

[
  {
    "id": "550e8400-...",
    "slug": "my-first-post",
    "status": "published",
    "created_at": "2025-01-01 12:00:00",
    "updated_at": "2025-06-01 09:15:00",
    "data": {
      "title": "My first post",
      "body": "<p>...</p>"
    }
  }
]

Authentication

By default the API is open. To restrict access, set an API token in Settings → Public API. Then pass it as a Bearer token:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-token" https://your-site.com/orbiter/api/posts

Requests without the token return 401 Unauthorized.

Enabling / disabling

The API is enabled by default. Disable it in Settings → Public API → Enable public API.

Use cases

• Mobile apps that need to fetch content at runtime
• Third-party integrations (Zapier, n8n, etc.)
• Preview environments that can't run a full Astro build
• Incremental builds — fetch only entries updated since a given timestamp (filter client-side on updated_at)
