How to hit the Contentful API

Contentful's Content Delivery API at https://cdn.contentful.com serves published content by space and environment. The Management API (api.contentful.com) edits it.

Authentication

Create a Content Delivery API token under Settings → API keys and send it as Authorization: Bearer <token>. In the examples it's written {{CONTENTFUL_DELIVERY_TOKEN}}.

List entries (public demo space)

Runs as-is: cfexampleapi is Contentful's public demo space, and this read-only token is published in Contentful's own docs. Swap in your space id and token.
