Search Storyblok's Documentation
  1. Retrieve Multiple Stories

Retrieve Multiple Stories

Returns an array of all stories (as story objects) contained in a Storyblok space. The API response can be filtered using the query parameters, including specific filter queries.

https://api.storyblok.com/v2/cdn/stories

This endpoint is paginated by default, including a maximum of 100 stories in the response. Learn more under Pagination.

An empty array rather than a 404 error is returned if no stories are found with the filters applied.

Query Parameters

  • token

    required string

    A preview or public access token configured in a space.

  • 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.

  • version

    string

    Default: published. Possible values: draft, published

  • starts_with

    string

    Filter by full_slug. Used to retrieve all stories in a specific folder. Example: starts_with=blog/posts

  • search_term

    string

    Performs a full-text search by passing a search query. When the sort_by parameter is not included with the request, the search results are ordered based on the following:

    • By relevance of the full_slug .
    • By relevance of the name.
    • By the position in ascending order. The position is the numeric representation of the story's position in its folder.
  • sort_by

    string

    Sort stories in ascending or descending order by a specific property. Possible properties are all default story properties and any custom fields defined in the schema of the story type.

    Default story properties can be used like this:
    sort_by=created_at:desc
    sort_by=slug:asc

    Custom fields can be used like this:
    sort_by=content.meta_description:asc
    sort_by=content.event_title:desc

    By default, all custom fields are sorted as strings. To sort custom fields with numeric values, it needs to be specified whether they should be treated as float or integer. Examples: sort_by=content.price:asc:float
    sort_by=content.event_number:asc:int

    Different sorts can be chained using commas like this:
    sort_by=name:desc,slug:asc

    There is also a possibility to sort values keeping the null (or empty) ones first or last:
    sort_by=path:desc:nulls_first or sort_by=path:desc:nulls_last.
    nulls_last is the default behavior.

  • per_page

    number

    Default: 25. Max: 100. Learn more under Pagination.

  • page

    number

    Default: 1. Learn more under Pagination.

  • excluding_slugs

    string

    Exclude stories by specifying comma-separated values of full_slug. It is possible to specify wildcards by using *. Examples:

  • content_type

    string

    Retrieve stories of a specific content type. Example: content_type=page

  • level

    number

    Retrieve stories located in the specified folder level. Examples:

    level=1 retrieves stories from the root folder
    level=2 retrieves stories from top-level folders
    level=3 retrieves stories from second-level folders

    Only the immediate child stories are included in the response. Stories defined as root for the folder are excluded.

  • 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.

  • excluding_ids

    Possible valuesDescription
    linkProvides access to additional information such as a linked story's path, parent_id, is_folder, published, is_startpage, position, alternates, real_path, and more.
