Contenode is designed to get you from zero to a working content API as fast as possible.

Step 1: Create a project

Log in to the Contenode admin panel and create a new project. Give it a name and a slug — the slug becomes part of your public API URL.

Step 2: Define your collections

Collections are the content models in Contenode. Each collection has a set of custom fields. Go to Collections → New Collection and add the fields you need.

Step 3: Add content

Create entries inside your collection, fill in the fields, and publish. Your content is immediately available via the public API.
