Content API

Last modified: July 10, 2025

Introduction

The Mendix Content API allows you to retrieve versions of both public and private company-specific Marketplace content.

If you have Marketplace content, this API can help you get the following information:

  • The latest version of the content used, allowing you to keep track of outdated content on your side and check for newly added versions including release notes
  • The latest version that is compatible with your Mendix Studio Pro version
  • Component details such as content type, category, and license

Authentication

Generating a PAT

For details on how to generate a PAT, see the Personal Access Tokens section of User Settings.

Select at least the following as the Marketplace scope:

  • mx:marketplace-content:read – to perform GET operations

Store the generated value {GENERATED_PAT} somewhere safe so you can use it to authorize your Content API calls.

Using the PAT

Each request must contain an Authorization header with the value MxToken {GENERATED_PAT}. Here is an example:

GET /content HTTP/1.1
Authorization: MxToken 7LJE…vk

To authenticate calls when using the OpenAPI specification below, click Authorize and use the value MxToken {GENERATED_PAT}.
