Query parameters

cmsLocaleIdstringOptional

Unique identifier for a CMS Locale. This UID is different from the Site locale identifier and is listed as cmsLocaleId in the Sites response. To query multiple locales, input a comma separated string.

translatablebooleanOptional
Set to `true`, along with a secondary locale, to return only content that hasn't been excluded from translation for that locale. Site owners can exclude specific fields, properties, or canvas content from AI translation using the Localization panel in the Designer. This parameter is intended for translation pipeline integrations that need to fetch only the content that should be translated, without independently tracking exclusion rules. Only exclusion rules scoped to manual translation are respected — rules scoped only to automatic translation don't affect this parameter's response. Omitting `translatable` (or setting it to `false`) returns the same response as if this parameter didn't exist. Setting `translatable=true` without also specifying a secondary locale returns a `400` error, since exclusions are resolved per locale.
