Getting started

After you create an account, you are greeted with a list of spaces. To get you started, we have created you one already but you can create as many as your plan allows.

To learn more about spaces see here

Generating an API Key

API keys belong to your Garchi account rather than to a single Space. An API key can access the Spaces your account owns. You can hold up to five at a time.

• Go to Build & connect -> Developer / API in the sidebar, or click the user icon in the top right and select "API Keys"
• Click Create API key
• Give the key a name that tells you where it is used, such as "Acme backend"
• Copy the key straight away

The key is shown only once, when you create it — Garchi cannot show it to you again.

TIP: Treat your API key like a password and keep it server-side rather than in browser code. If a key is ever exposed, revoke it from the same screen and create a new one. Creating a new key does not revoke the old ones.

Garchi CMS has two ways to building headless sites and apps:

1. Headless Web

Use this method to create headless web pages like static marketing pages, home, about, contact etc. You can also build dynamic pages like blog posts, e-commerce product listings etc. that pull content from Data Items.

2. Data items

Use this method to create reusable content like blog posts, products, pricing plans etc. that can be rendered on dynamic pages. For example, you can display blog post items on their respective URL slugs.

You can use both the methods in combination.
