From content model to API, in minutes
Design your content types and relationships in a visual builder, or describe them in Strapi AI. Strapi instantly turns your model into a live REST and GraphQL API, no boilerplate, no manual routing. It's an open-source Node.js app you own and can extend.
Generate your API, don't hand-build it
Model your content once and get REST and GraphQL endpoints, relations, and full backend control, without wiring routes by hand.
Generated, not wired by hand
Every content type ships as REST and GraphQL endpoints automatically. Change the model and the API follows, with a typed schema on the GraphQL side. No boilerplate to write or maintain.
One model, every channel
Serve the same content to any frontend, mobile app, or AI agent from a single API, no per-channel backends.
Yours to own
A real open-source Node.js app under MIT. Self-host it or deploy to Strapi Cloud, and drop into custom controllers and middleware when you outgrow configuration.
Define your types. Get an API.
Model an Article in the Content-Type Builder and Strapi exposes it instantly, no routing, no resolvers. Change the model and the endpoints update with it.
Visually design your content and API
Model content types and relations in the Content-Type Builder, or describe them in Strapi AI, uploading a Figma file or frontend code.
Give editors flexible layouts
Components let you reuse field groups across content types, and dynamic zones let editors assemble flexible layouts, all part of the same model and its API.
Connect content with each other
Link content with one-to-many, many-to-many, and nested relations. Editors browse and manage connected entries in the content manager, and you query it all through the API in one call.
Fetch exactly what you need over REST
Every content type gets a REST endpoint with filtering, sorting, pagination, and relation population built in.
Fetch nested content with GraphQL
Query and mutate any content type over a single GraphQL endpoint, pulling exactly the fields and nested relations you need in one request.
Developers love Strapi
Strapi and Next.js both build on the same philosophy: open source is the path to success. Combine them with Vercel deployment and you have a stack with virtually infinite scalability, global performance, and security.
With Strapi, we can be sure that the solution can be customized to always fit our needs. It helped us reduce time-to-market and deliver the project on time.
Our marketing ecosystem was fragmented. We had multiple platforms, disconnected databases, high webmastering costs, and inconsistent web pages. It was hard to manage, even harder to scale. Moving to Strapi wasn’t just a tech upgrade. For us, it was a business accelerator
