Real-time API

Real-time edits, on your production website

Say goodbye to dedicated preview servers. Thanks to our real-time API, you will completely change the way you work and interact with your content with just a couple of lines of code on your frontend website.

Real-time API + content preview

Preview changes as they get authored, no refresh needed

Instead of the API consumer only getting the new data upon their next query, with DatoCMS's Real-time Updates, new data is instantly pushed to them.

For our clients, being able to instantly view the result of their changes on the final site is simply critical. The fact that you don't need a staging server, and you don't even have to refresh the page, well, that's the icing on the cake that makes everything wow.

GraphQL and Server-Sent Events, to deliver the best developer ergonomic
