Contentful (GraphQL Content) API Integrations

Build and run workflows using the Contentful (GraphQL Content) API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.

Overview#

The Contentful GraphQL Content API opens up a world of possibilities for creating, managing, and delivering content across multiple platforms. With this API, you can query your Contentful content model using GraphQL, allowing for more efficient data retrieval with fewer requests. Integrate this with Pipedream's serverless capabilities, and you've got a powerful tool to automate content workflows, sync content across applications, trigger notifications based on content changes, and more.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    contentful_graphql: {
      type: "app",
      app: "contentful_graphql",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://graphql.contentful.com/content/v1/spaces/[SPACE]/environments/[ENVIRONMENT]`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.contentful_graphql.$auth.access_token}`,
      },
      params: {
        query: `query($preview: Boolean){
      assetCollection(preview: $preview){
        items{
          title
        }
      }
    }`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Content Sync Across Platforms: Automatically sync new blog posts from Contentful to your website, social media, and email newsletter platforms. When Contentful signals a new post via a webhook, Pipedream can handle the distribution, ensuring content consistency and timely updates across all channels.
Automated Content Backup: Set up a workflow to periodically query your Contentful data using the GraphQL Content API and back up the results to a cloud storage provider like Google Drive or Dropbox. By leveraging Pipedream's scheduled triggers, you can ensure your content is safely archived on a regular basis.
Dynamic Content Update Notifications: Create a workflow where updates to Contentful entries trigger notifications. For instance, when an author updates a content piece, Pipedream can use the API to fetch the changes and send an alert through Slack or email to the relevant stakeholders, maintaining an up-to-date collaborative environment.

Authentication#

Contentful (GraphQL Content) uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Contentful (GraphQL Content) account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Contentful (GraphQL Content) APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Any client using the Contentful GraphQL API needs to provide an access token. See docs.
Note: The GraphQL API is built on top of the Contentful Delivery API (CDA), so you can use any of your existing CDA keys.
