  • How to define a specific region when using the Content Delivery API

Adding a region parameter to an API request

In order to use the correct region that matches the region of your space, you have to use a different base URL.

The base URL for spaces created in the EU is:

        
      https://api.storyblok.com/v2

    

The base URL for spaces created in the US is:

        
      https://api{-us}.storyblok.com/v2
    

The base URL for spaces created in China is:

        
      https://app.storyblokchina.cn
    

Adding a region parameter when using an SDK


JavaScript

Setting the correct region

Depending on whether your space was created in the EU, the US, or China, you may need to set the region parameter of the API accordingly:

  • eu (default): For spaces created in the EU
  • us: For spaces created in the US
  • cn: For spaces created in China

Here's an example for a space created in the US:

        
      apiOptions: {
  region: "us",
},
    
WARN:

Note: For spaces created in the United States or China, the region parameter must be specified.

HINT:

Since all the Storyblok SDKs use storyblok-js-client, you can use apiOptions to pass down any option such as region to the JS Client.
