Known Gotchas

  • Two separate API keys needed: Delivery API (read) and Management API (write) — don't confuse them
  • No public MCP server — REST or GraphQL integration required
  • Delivery API uses CDN caching — cache invalidation may lag content updates by seconds
  • Management API has stricter rate limits than Delivery API
  • Content type codenames (slugs) are immutable once set — plan content model carefully
