Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about INKBASE,
the open source headless CMS.
the open source headless CMS.
INKBASE is an open source headless CMS for teams that want the simplest way to manage text and images. It is ideal for landing pages, blogs, and app content where you need drafts, preview, and reliable publishing.
Yes. INKBASE is API first. Any frontend or backend that can call HTTP can fetch content, including React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, mobile apps, server apps, and static sites.
It is a lightweight alternative focused on the core workflow. You get content types, entries, drafts, preview, and publishing snapshots. You skip complex enterprise features that slow setup and maintenance.
Text fields, image uploads, and URLs. You can store a video URL for embeds like YouTube or Vimeo, but INKBASE does not upload video files. This keeps it fast and simple.
Drafts are editable versions, and publishing creates stable snapshots for production. Preview API keys can return drafts for review, while Delivery API keys return only published content.
Open the docs, create your first website space, define a content type like Hero or BlogPost, then add entries and images. Finally, plug your API key into any frontend and start rendering content.
