Use Craft’s API to Build With Base44

Use Craft's API to build apps on Base44. Fetch your documents, sync content, and create custom tools powered by your Craft data.

Enabling the API for Documents

First, you have to enable the API in order for Craft to setup an API endpoint for your documents. Then, you use the API endpoint URL to connect to the server from Base44.

Step 1

Open the “Imagine” tab

Step 2

Click “Add Your First API Connection”

Step 3

Configure your API connection with a name.

Step 4

Click “Add Document” to select which documents this API connection has access to.

Step 5

The API URL that will be used to interact with your document is now displayed at the top

Step 6

Click the “Download AI Bundle” button. This will download a folder containing the API documentation and the content of your doc.

Using the API in a Base44 Prompt

Once the API is enabled for your Craft docs, you can now focus on writing a prompt that Base44 will use to generate your project.

In order for Base44 to see how to use the API and understand the structure of your document, you attach the AI bundle to your prompt. This bundle is a markdown document that contains the current content of your Craft doc as well as the API documentation.

Step 1

Geh zu Base44. Du kannst direkt über das Eingabefeld auf der Startseite eine neue App erstellen.

Step 2

Klick im Eingabefeld auf die Schaltfläche "+" und wähle "Datei hochladen", um das von Craft heruntergeladene AI-Bundle hochzuladen.

Step 3

Die hochgeladene Datei wird oben im Eingabefeld angezeigt, um zu bestätigen, dass sie angehängt ist.

Now you can add a prompt to describe the app you want to build. Here is a very general example that can be used for testing:

Please create a website that visualises the content of my connected Craft docs. You find instructions on how to access this data and its structure in the attached file.
