CUSTOMER CHOICE
Third-party accessibility
Administrators issue API tokens with configured permissions. API tokens and end-user authentication are separate access mechanisms.
Confirm who can connect, who owns the credentials and which uses are permitted. Customer consent and provider approval can be separate requirements; the selected plan and contract still matter.
READ / INTEGRATE
API and export routes
Traverse collection-type documents with REST pagination and retain filters and publication selection. REST parameters support filtering, sorting, field selection and relation population; relations are not automatically complete.
| Access route | Authentication | Credential owner | Provider approval | Access requirement | Last checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strapi 5 REST Content API collection documents and CRUD | API key | Customer | No | Customer-supplied credentials | 2026-10-22 |
Availability depends on your product, plan and agreement. See the documentation below for the requirements of each route.
ECONOMIC ACCESS
Cost, authentication and limits
Minimum plan and exact route fees remain unconfirmed.
Check API entitlement, credential ownership and rate limits for the route you intend to use. Include review fees, customer-plan upgrades and ongoing access charges in the total.
ACT FROM OUTSIDE
External action
Create, update and delete documents through the content-type REST endpoints, subject to configured permissions.
Validate the supported operation, acting identity and permission scope (read access does not imply write permission). Ambiguous retries and revoked credentials also affect whether an external workflow can run safely.
KEEP ACCESS USEFUL
Continuity
Repeat the assessed collection traversal to reconcile current state. Native change delivery and retained replay were not established in this review.

Useful ongoing access includes corrections and deletions, not only the first export. A failed request, changed filter or lost resource permission should not be interpreted as a deleted record.
LEAVE WITH YOUR DATA
Data exit and portability
Retain the assessed structured records before losing access. Attachments, historical versions, permissions and full product configuration need separate extraction.
Test the output against the destination’s required fields and history. Check stable identifiers, relationships, attachments and extraction time; a sample file proves only the coverage of that sample.
BUILD / INSPECT / REUSE
Business logic and customization
Customers can write external integration code. Native workflow rights and independent execution remain unresolved (record access does not establish portable application logic).
Custom API access, ownership of workflows and the right to export their definitions are separate questions. A custom-app capability alone does not establish that business rules can move to another system.

Answers below come from public provider materials. Every answer retains its source check date, scope (a partner agreement does not describe every customer route). Customer contracts and live behavior still need verification.
