This is an overview of the changes to the Webflow APIs and related tools. To filter the list, select one or more tags.

Update: Get Site Plan returns the Starter hosting plan and public plan names

The Get Site Plan endpoint now returns the site’s hosting plan consistently. This is a breaking change for any code that compares id or displayName against the previous values.

Starter sites

Sites without a paid hosting plan used to return the Starter workspace plan. They now return the Starter hosting plan.

Data API

New: List Workspaces endpoint

The new List Workspaces endpoint, GET /v2/workspaces, returns the id, name, and slug of each workspace your token can access. Use it to find the workspace ID that endpoints such as Workspace Members and Create Site require.

The endpoint requires the workspace:read scope and supports workspace API tokens and Data Client apps. The workspace:read scope is now available only to workspace API tokens and Data Client apps. New site API tokens can’t have it.

Data API

Update: Token introspection omits `application` for API tokens

The Get Authorization Info endpoint only returns the application object for tokens issued to an OAuth app. Tokens without an OAuth app, such as Site and Workspace API tokens (grantType: client_credentials), return authorization only, and the response omits application.

If your code reads application from the response, check that it’s present before using it.

Data API

New: AEO Analytics API (beta)

The AEO Analytics API (beta) lets you read how AI bots visit your site, and how answer engines mention and cite you. AEO, or answer engine optimization, is the practice of improving how your content appears in AI-generated answers. It works with sites that have the AEO analytics entitlement.

Bot traffic

Data API (Beta)

New: Analyze scroll depth, browser window height, page flow, and goals (beta)

The Analyze API (beta) now includes three new reports and two goals endpoints.

Analyze

  • Scroll depth: the scroll depth (in pixels) that 75%, 50%, and 25% of page views reached.
  • Browser window height: average browser window height in CSS pixels over a time window.
  • Page flow: pages visitors viewed immediately before or after a selected page, ranked by sessions, users, or page views.
  • List goals: the goals configured for your site, including each goal’s type, whether it’s a site goal, and its integration source (HubSpot, Marketo, or Shopify).
  • Goal performance: daily unique conversions for one goal, bucketed in the time zone you choose.
Data API (Beta)

New: Optimize API (beta)

The Optimize API (beta) lets you read your optimizations and their results. It works with Webflow sites that have the Optimize add-on, and with non-Webflow sites that use Optimize.

Optimize

Data API (Beta)

New: Site Access and Workspace Members APIs

Two new endpoint groups let you manage who has access to a Site or Workspace directly through the API, for Enterprise workspaces.

v2.9.0: Workspace folders for imported apps, and `devlink sync` removed

v2.9.0 adds workspace folder placement when you import a Cloud app from GitHub, removes the leftover webflow devlink sync command, and fixes what the Server bundle’s manifest lists.

Place an imported app in a workspace folder

webflow apps init --import --new accepts a new --folder-id flag that puts the new standalone app in a workspace folder at creation time:

CLI

MCP v2.1: Interactions with GSAP, Webflow Cloud, and Campaigns

MCP v2.1 widens what agents can do on the Webflow platform. Three products open to agents for the first time, branch management becomes a complete loop, CMS collections gain field groups and custom-field filtering and sorting, and agents can now generate the instructions that guide their own work. No tool or action names changed, so anything built against v2.0.1 keeps working.

MCP

v2.8.0: `webflow apps`, the canonical namespace for Webflow Cloud

v2.8.0 introduces webflow apps, the new canonical command namespace for managing Webflow Cloud apps. It replaces the piecemeal webflow cloud commands with one consistent surface across the whole app lifecycle, designed so a CI job or an AI agent can drive it end-to-end without scraping human-oriented output: structured --json on read commands, --dry-run previews on every write, and predictable exit codes throughout. Reads also retry transient rate limits (429) automatically with bounded backoff, so a busy CI runner doesn’t need its own retry loop.

CLI

New: AEO Recommendations API (beta)

The AEO Recommendations API (beta) is now documented for workspaces with the AEO recommendations entitlement.

AEO recommendations

Data API (Beta)

Webflow Cloud supports no-framework static apps

Deploy no-framework static apps with the Webflow CLI.

Webflow Cloud

New: Branch API (beta)

The Branch API (beta) is now documented for Enterprise sites with page branching enabled.

Data API (Beta)

`?translatable` on Get Page Content now filters component property overrides

Get page content’s translatable parameter previously only checked whether a page’s entire canvas was excluded from translation. A component instance’s overridden property values were always returned as-is, even when the specific property was excluded — inconsistent with get component properties, which already filtered properties individually.

translatable now filters component property overrides the same way: an overridden value is omitted from a component instance’s propertyOverrides if that property is excluded from translation for the requested locale. If a component instance’s overrides are all excluded, the instance is omitted from the response entirely. A component instance with no overrides at all is unaffected.

Data API

v2.5.0: Global telemetry configuration and a code component crash fix

v2.5.0 changes where telemetry preferences are stored and fixes a crash affecting sites that combine code components from different sources.

Global telemetry configuration

webflow auth telemetry --enable/--disable now writes to a global config file (~/.config/webflow/telemetry.json on macOS/Linux, %APPDATA%\webflow\telemetry.json on Windows) instead of the current project’s webflow.json. Bare CLI invocations in a project without a manifest no longer create one just to record a telemetry preference.

CLI

`?translatable` now supported on Get Page Metadata

Get page metadata now accepts translatable, alongside the endpoints that already supported it:

Pass the id of the secondary locale you’re translating into to omit page-level fields (title, slug, SEO title/description, Open Graph title/description) excluded from translation for that locale — they’re left out of the response entirely rather than returned as null. Behavior matches the other endpoints: the value must be a secondary locale id (400 otherwise), and the request returns a 403 if translation exclusions aren’t enabled for the site.

Data API

`?translatable` now takes the target locale id

The translatable parameter introduced on July 27 couldn’t express the workflow it was built for, so its shape has changed.

Why it changed

A translation integration reads the primary locale to get the source text, translates it, then writes the result to a secondary locale. As originally shipped, translatable=true resolved exclusion rules against the same localeId used to select the content, which left no way to do that first step correctly:

Data API

Filter out translation-excluded content with `?translatable`

Site owners can exclude specific fields, properties, or canvas content from AI translation using the Localization panel in the Designer. These endpoints now expose those exclusion rules through a new translatable query parameter. Translation pipeline integrations can fetch exactly the content that should be translated, without tracking exclusion rules themselves.

Data API

MCP v2.0.1: Focused tools for element settings and component props/variants

A minor (maintenance) release to improve how the Webflow MCP works with Claude. Three groups of actions moved out of two large tools into focused tools of their own. The actions themselves are unchanged (same inputs, same behavior).

  • Element settings. data_element_settings_tool takes over element settings and data bindings from data_element_tool: reading and writing settings, discovering bindable sources, and setting an element’s tag, visibility, and DOM id (static or bound).

  • Component props. data_component_props_tool takes over prop work from data_component_tool: creating, updating, and removing prop definitions, reading an instance’s props, setting prop values, and resetting all props to their defaults.

  • Component variants. data_component_variants_tool takes over variant work from data_component_tool: creating, duplicating, deleting, reordering, and renaming variants, and reading or setting per-variant styles.
