DatoCMS changelog for new features and general improvements
Content Delivery API Content Management API

Ability to restrict access to GraphQL/REST endpoints

January 29th, 2019

We just made possible to specify which API endpoints an API token can access:

This will prevent from using your ie. production API token to read temporary/draft content using the GraphQL preview endpoint.

Content Delivery API

Change in Content Delivery API GraphQL schema

January 24th, 2019

On February 4, at 11:00 CEST we'll publish a small change to the GraphQL types of our Content Delivery API.

If you want to get the value of a field for every locale of the project, you can use the following query:

query {
allBlogPosts {
_allTitleLocales {
locale
value
}
}
}

Right now the type for the _allTitleLocales field is [PageModelSlugMultiLocaleField]. After the change, the name of the type will simply be [SlugMultiLocaleField]. That is, the prefix {MODEL_NAME}Model will be dropped.

This change will drastically reduce the overall number of GraphQL types on multi-language project, reducing both our response times (by up to ~25%) and time to process the schema on your side.

The large majority of our users won't need to do anything, but if your codebase do relies on GraphQL type names, please make sure to do the necessary adjustments before February 4 or contact us if you need more help/information.
