Creating new Content Types 1¶
A new Content Type
can be created either by sending a properly formatted POST request to the /api/v1/internal/contenttype
endpoint or through the Content Modeler tool provided with the platform.
Note
You will need to use your Application Read and write API KEY to perform this action.
Read more about API keys and scoped API keys.
Creating new Content Types via API¶
Creating a new
Content Type is simply a POST call with a payload similar to:
{
"name": "blogposts",
"label": "Blog Posts",
"schemaDefinition": {
"type": "object",
"allOf": [
{
"$ref": "#/components/schemas/AbstractContentTypeSchemaDefinition"
},
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"title": {
"type": "string",
"minLength": 1
},
"postContent": {
"type": "string",
"minLength": 1
}
}
}
],
"required": [
"title",
"postContent"
],
"additionalProperties": false
},
"metaDefinition": {
"propertiesConfig": {
"title": {
"label": "Title",
"inputType": "text",
"unique": true
},
"postContent": {
"label": "Post content",
"inputType": "richtext",
"unique": false
}
},
"order": [
"title",
"postContent"
]
}
}
Let's quickly look at the properties of this object. On the top level, there are the following properties:
- name - is an API-friendly name of the
Content Type and name of the endpoints that will be generated to handle requests with
Content Objects of that type. Can only have
a-zcharacters and_. - label - is a human-friendly label used to refer to this Content Type in the UI
- schemaDefinition - contains an OpenAPI-compliant schema of the Content Type (more about this below)
- metaDefinition - contains additional properties of the fields (more about this below)
For simplicity - this example uses a straightforward Content Type, which only has two attributes:
- title
- postContent
and you can see those listed under the schemaDefinition property.
The schema definition property¶
The schemaDefinition part of the JSON payload is based on the bare JSON OpenAPI 3.0 Schema and is fully compatible.
It holds information about the properties of the
CT
(in the properties key), its types and which properties are required (required key).
Schema definition always should have "type": "object", as it is an object, and "additionalProperties": false
to ensure that API users will not post garbage to the objects of this CTD.
To ensure that all objects have a proper id property
CTD
also should have information about the connection with AbstractContentTypeSchemaDefinition using:
"allOf": [
{
"$ref": "#/components/schemas/AbstractContentTypeSchemaDefinition"
}
],
All property names should have only a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and _ characters. id and objectType property names are restricted.
The meta definition property¶
Finally - the metaDefinition attribute is used to store additional properties, which for example, tell us how to
render forms for the Content Object; it holds information about the order of the properties (order key, which
should contain all properties of the object), and about type and validation of the field. It also includes information
on relations of the object with other Content Types.
In this case, Blog Post will have title property which will be unique and will render as text input in the CMS panel
and postContent, which can be duplicated and presented as CKEditor input in the CMS panel.
The first input in the form in the CMS panel will be title input, and the second will be postContent.

After such call is made the Content Type is created - the User API is immediately extended to support interaction with this new Content Type:
All Content Types have automatically added properties from AbstractContentTypeSchemaDefinition; they are:
- id - string identifier of Content Object, required in all requests, unique within the Content Type,
- internal - object necessary to proper work of CMS backend (information about dates of creation and update, the whole object is described in JSON below).
Schema of Abstract Content Type
"AbstractContentTypeSchemaDefinition": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "string"
},
"internal": {
"type":"object",
"description":"Immutable object containing system information, it will be automatically generated on object creation and regenerated on updates.",
"additionalProperties":false,
"required": [
"createdAt",
"updatedAt",
"deletedAt",
"contentType"
],
"properties": {
"contentType": {
"type":"string",
"description":"Name of Content Type Definition of object"
},
"createdAt": {
"type":"string",
"description":"Date and time of creation of Content Object, in ISO 8601 date format"
},
"updatedAt": {
"type":"string",
"description":"Date and time of last update of Content Object, in ISO 8601 date format"
},
"deletedAt": {
"type":"string",
"description":"Date and time of deletion of Content Object, in ISO 8601 date format"
},

"type":"string",
"description":"Information about object's current state in workflow"
}
}
}
},

"id"
]
},
Property types¶
Property types (as of schemaDefinition properties), recognized by CMS panel:
| type | Description | Additional keys in property | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| string | Any string data that includes date and files | minLength | Minimal length of filed content |
| pattern | Regex pattern of filed content | ||
| default | Default value of the field | ||
| number | Any number, integer, float and double | minLength | Minimal length of filed content |
| default | Default value of the field | ||
| boolean | Represents two values, true and false. Note that truthy and falsy values such as "true", "", 0 or null are not considered boolean values. |
none allowed | |
| array | Used for lists or relations. | items | For relations: it has to be an object containing {"$ref": "#/components/schemas/DataSource"}, as the items of the array are objects described in DataSource schema.For list items: it should be a valid json schema following the same restrictions as wrapping schema |
| minItems | 0 for a not required property, and 1 for required property |
||
| object | Used for geo point and block types | properties | must be {"lat": {"type": "number"},"lon": {"type": "number"}} for geo object and {"time": {"type": "number"}, "blocks": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "object", "properties": {"id": {"type": "string"}, "type": {"type": "string"}, "data": {"type": "object", "properties": {"text": {"type": "string"}}, "additionalProperties": true}}}}, "version": {"type": "string"}} for block object |
| additionalProperties | must be false |
||
| type | must be object |
||
| required | if it is geo field and the field is required it must be ["lat","lon"] |
You can use every type of property multiple times across the Content Type Definition.
