Dive deeper
Take your Kontent.ai-powered apps further with the following APIs and features.
- Smart link SDK automatically creates edit links in your web app based on HTML data attributes provided in your app. The SDK also lets you connect your website with Web Spotlight.
- Synchronize latest content changes with webhooks or via Sync API to keep your cache up to date.
- Image transformation API is a real-time image manipulation and optimization API. Check our image optimization guide to speed up image delivery in your app.
- Custom Elements API lets you implement your own custom elements and use methods from this JavaScript API.
Typescript
To leverage the full power of a strongly typed programing language like Typescript, you need strongly typed models. Use the Kontent.ai Model Generator to automatically generate strongly-typed models based on the content types in your Kontent.ai project.

Jamstack
Jamstack is an architecture designed to make the web faster, more secure, and easier to scale out of the box.
The first step is to choose is a static site generator (SSG). A static site generator combines data from Kontent.ai with specific visual templates, and prerenders a static site, which you can host on a CDN.
