Setka Content Cloud API

Setka Cloud API allows you to download HTML code and auxiliary data of posts saved in your Setka account.
To enable Cloud API, please contact support.

Working with posts when Cloud API is enabled

If Cloud API is active on your Setka account, you will see some new buttons that will help you operate with the posts.

Publishing the post

If Cloud API is enabled, you will see the Publish / Unpublish button on the post badge in your Setka account. It determines the status of the post: published or draft, respectively:
The same buttons will appear in the post editor:

    Click Republish:

Making API requests with the Setka Cloud API

To fetch a complete list of posts from your Setka account, run the following request by adding a license key:
GET https://editor.setka.io/api/v2/posts
To get a specific post from your Setka account, you need to specify its ID:
GET https://editor.setka.io/api/v2/posts/POST_ID
Where POST_ID is the post’s ID.
By default, API will only return published posts with no images or HubSpot data. To get draft posts, use the state:draft or state:all filters. To include HubSpot data and/or images in the results, add additional fields to the request.

Authorization

Authorizing your identity in the Setka Cloud API is possible in two ways:

1. In the request header

Add the authorization header to the request:
{
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_LICENSE_KEY"
}
where YOUR_LICENSE_KEY is your license key.

2. In the request parameters

Add the token parameter to the request:
GET https://editor.setka.io/api/v2/posts?token=YOUR_LICENSE_KEY
where YOUR_LICENSE_KEY is your license key.

Example API request response

If the request is successful, you will receive a response consisting of an array of posts. The response will be paginated if the number of posts is large. Below is an example API request response:

Making API requests with additional parameters

Using additional request parameters with the Setka Cloud API is necessary to filter posts by features or to include or exclude certain data in the response.

Filters

You can filter posts by status and author, e.g.:
GET https://editor.setka.io/api/v2/posts?filter=state:draft,author.id:1111&token=YOUR_LICENSE_KEY
The available filters are:
  • author — the post’s author. The filter works both by ID (i.e., author.id) and by author name (author.name).
  • state — the post’s status, i.e., one of the following: draft, published, or all (both draft and published).

Additional fields

You can also include additional fields in the API response with the include parameter and listing the fields separated by commas, e.g.:
GET https://editor.setka.io/api/v2/posts?include=hubspot_post,images&token=YOUR_LICENSE_KEY
The available fields are:
  • hubspot_post — the data of a post exported to HubSpot.
  • images — all images used in a post.

Selecting post data

If you need to obtain individual fields from your Setka account (e.g., only identifiers and post names), use the select parameter:
GET https://editor.setka.io/api/v2/posts?select=id,title&token=YOUR_LICENSE_KEY
The available fields are:
  • id — the post’s unique ID.
  • title — the post’s title.

  • assets — any additional files in the posts (e.g., CSS, JavaScript, or images).

If you need assistance with the Setka Cloud API, please contact support.

Preserve your Setka Editor content after the service shutdown

If you use Post API to fetch content from Setka Cloud, you will need to migrate all assets to your own infrastructure. Post API response contains links to all necessary assets (CSS, Fonts, Images etc).
Advice – store CSS files with the same path, that will simplify the update script.
For example: If CSS URL looks like: https://ceditor.setka.io/clients/123/example.css you should store it in your infrastructure and make it accessible via the URL on your domain, for example like this: https://you-domain.com/clients/123/example.css.
When all assets are downloaded and stored in your infrastructure, you need to replace all links used in the Post body and include CSS files in the Post Page. You will need a custom script tailored to your case.
Inside the Post body there might be images. If you created Posts inside Setka Cloud you’ll find srcset generated for multiple image sizes. It’s a feature provided by Setka Cloud. Links to image variations are not provided. We suggest that you remove everything inside the srcsetHTML attribute for in <img tag> and store the original image in your infrastructure.
Example:
You have the following piece of code:
<img src="https://img.setka.io/clients/AutWJxVDaz_R9_xWagHPL9nT4WVLIRNp/post_images/mufasa_headshot-2023012401152726.png" data-image-id="248663" data-image-name="Mufasa_headshot.png" class="stk-image stk-reset" srcset="https://img.setka.io/clients/AutWJxVDaz_R9_xWagHPL9nT4WVLIRNp/post_images/mufasa_headshot-2023012401152726.png 1044w, https://img.setka.io/rk1GAk6jbdIj4L5shxsSoWdU8vdWLXBx3AcTkiOmKec/w:500/q:88/plain/clients/AutWJxVDaz_R9_xWagHPL9nT4WVLIRNp/post_images/mufasa_headshot-2023012401152726.png 500w, https://img.setka.io/2g0DHW1QRePXqTjfSSAAuLYU4TPFisvQlQZF_jEez_8/w:750/q:88/plain/clients/AutWJxVDaz_R9_xWagHPL9nT4WVLIRNp/post_images/mufasa_headshot-2023012401152726.png 750w, https://img.setka.io/2G2xzHJHv4XawjrRFaa6V76e7G3ZltwPorAYSmLH0zU/w:1000/q:88/plain/clients/AutWJxVDaz_R9_xWagHPL9nT4WVLIRNp/post_images/mufasa_headshot-2023012401152726.png 1000w" width="1044" height="1302" loading="lazy">
You should pick the original size – https://img.setka.io/clients/AutWJxVDaz_R9_xWagHPL9nT4WVLIRNp/post_images/mufasa_headshot-2023012401152726.png in src attribute (you can find the same link inside Post API response) and make it accessible on the URL like https://your-domain.com/clients/AutWJxVDaz_R9_xWagHPL9nT4WVLIRNp/post_images/mufasa_headshot-2023012401152726.png
Then change the link inside Setka Post body and remove the srcset. The result will look like this:
<img src="https://your-domain.com/clients/AutWJxVDaz_R9_xWagHPL9nT4WVLIRNp/post_images/mufasa_headshot-2023012401152726.png" data-image-id="248663" data-image-name="Mufasa_headshot.png" class="stk-image stk-reset" width="1044" height="1302" loading="lazy">
