Live CMS item management
The Data API now supports new endpoints dedicated to managing live CMS items. The new live CMS endpoints create a clear separation between staged content (drafts) and published content (live), allowing you to:
- Access only published content without retrieving draft items
- Make direct changes to published content
- Create content that bypasses the draft/staging workflow
- Manage the live database independently of the editing environment
New endpoints
-
Get live CMS item
Retrieve a specific item from the live database. -
List live CMS items
Retrieve all published items from a collection. -
Create live CMS item
Add a new item directly to the live database, bypassing the staging workflow. -
Update live CMS item
Modify an existing item in the live database without affecting its staged version. -
Delete live CMS item
Remove an item from the live database.
Changes made through these live endpoints affect only what visitors see on your published site. They don’t affect staged content in the Webflow Designer, which requires separate API calls to the non-live endpoints.
