Using APIs to unleash the power of content
summary
Strapi open source headless CMS exposes a REST and GraphQL API to serve content to websites, mobile apps and devices, connects to Postgres/SQLite or Google Sheets/Airtable for data and Cloudinary for assets, and integrates with Elasticsearch, Shopify/Magento for product data and Stripe for payments. GraphQL enables single-request deep relation fetching so a slider can pull five product IDs from the CMS and enrich them live from Shopify. Best for custom front ends and app-like sites; avoid for tiny brochure sites where WordPress templates win on cost and speed. Strapi open source headless CMS GraphQL single-request aggregation
