https://api.storyblok.com/v2/cdn/stories/(:full_slug|:id|:uuid)

Path Parameters

:full_slug
string

The full slug of the story, combining the parent folder(s) and the designated story slug
:id
number

The numeric ID of the story
:uuid
string

The UUID of the story (important: it is required to append the query param find_by=uuid )

Query Parameters

token
required string

A preview or public access token configured in a space.
find_by
string

Added if you want to query by uuid instead of using the numeric id
version
string

Default: published. Possible values: draft, published

resolve_links

enum

Used to resolve internal links of link fields used in a story. Resolved links are included in the links property of the response. Possible values are story, url, and link. Entries can be resolved two levels deep using resolve_links_level. Learn more in this developer guide.

Possible values	Description
link	Provides access to additional information such as a linked story's path, parent_id, is_folder, published, is_startpage, position, alternates, real_path, and more.
url	If only the path of a linked story is required, this value provides the minimum amount of information in the response.
story	Resolves and returns the complete story object of a linked story.

resolve_links_level
number

Default: 1. Possible values: 1, 2
Used to resolve up to two levels of links. For example, if a story has a link field that references another story, the links in this story will also be resolved if resolve_links_level is set to 2.
resolve_relations
string

Used to resolve relations to other stories established via a multi-option or single-option field. Resolved relations are included in the rels property of the response. A maximum of 50 stories can be resolved. If this limit is exceeded, the story UUIDs are included in the rel_uuids property of the response and can be used for further API requests (this is handled automatically when using one of Storyblok's official frontend SDKs). Entries can be resolved two levels deep.
To resolve the stories selected in one field, provide the technical name of the immediate parent component of the field, followed by a . and the field name. To resolve the stories selected in multiple fields, provide a comma-separated list.
Example: resolve_relations=page.author,page.categories
Further information can be found in this tutorial.
from_release
string

Used to access a story version associated with a specific release by providing the release ID
cv
number

Used to access a particular cached version of a published story by providing a Unix timestamp. Further information is found under Cache Invalidation .
language
string

Used to obtain translated versions of one or more stories. Accepts any language code that is configured in the Storyblok space. Used in the context of field-level translation.
fallback_lang
string

Used to define a custom fallback language to handle untranslated fields. As standard, the default language defined in the Storyblok is used. Please note that the language code needs to be specified with underscores, even if it is defined with hyphens. E.g., es_co instead of es-co.
resolve_assets
number

Used to resolve asset metadata, including custom metadata. The resolved metadata is included in the assets property of the response. This parameter is only available in the Business plan and above. Please refer to our Pricing for further information.
