The BeyondWords API is a RESTful API that provides headless access to the entire platform. It has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts form-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs. This reference covers the endpoints most integrators need.

Base URL

All requests use the v1 API. Prepend this base URL to every endpoint path:
https://api.beyondwords.io/v1/
For example, listing content items for a project:
https://api.beyondwords.io/v1/projects/{project_id}/content
Replace {project_id} with your Project ID from Settings → Integrations → API in the dashboard.

Authentication

Every request requires your API key in the X-Api-Key header. Find your Project ID and API Key under Settings → Integrations → API.
-H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
Keep your API key secret. Do not expose it in client-side code or public repositories.

Resources

Content

Content items are the core resource. See the developer guide for processing types, the content object, and syndication. Example: create content with auto_segment Send title as plain text. body should be HTML.
curl -X POST "https://api.beyondwords.io/v1/projects/{project_id}/content" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "auto_segment",
    "title": "Article title",
    "body": "<p>First paragraph.</p><p>Second paragraph.</p>",
    "source_id": "cms-article-123",
    "source_url": "https://example.com/article"
  }'
