Published content vs. preview

You can use Delivery REST API either to retrieve published content or to preview content.
  • Preview content – Get the latest versions of content items. The latest version can come from both published and unpublished content items.
  • Published content – Get the published versions of content items.
In both cases, you use the same endpoints to request data but with a different base URL.
  • To preview content from your project's environment, use:
    https://preview-deliver.kontent.ai/<YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID>/
  • To retrieve published content from your project's environment, use:
    https://deliver.kontent.ai/<YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID>/
Get started with our tutorials on how to get content items, filter content items, and set up content preview.
Protect your contentYour published content is public by default. To protect your published content, enable secure access for your environment.
