About Headless Projects

Wix Headless enables you to take advantage of Wix's business management platform from any app or site you create, on any platform.

For example, you can create a site's frontend using any framework and use Wix Headless to handle the site's blog, CRM, and product catalog.

Which APIs to use

The APIs you should use depend on the language you're using to develop your Headless project:

• If you're developing in a JavaScript or TypeScript environment, use the Wix JavaScript SDK.
• For all other environments, use the Wix REST APIs.

Authentication and client setup

The authentication method for a Headless project depends on which API you use:

• If you use the Wix JavaScript SDK, you can:
  • Create a client with the OAuth authentication strategy to make API calls on behalf of visitors and members.
  • Create a client with API key authentication strategy to perform administrative operations.
• If you use the REST API, you can:
  • Use OAuth tokens for authentication of API calls on behalf of visitors and members.
  • Use an API key for authentication of API calls that perform administrative operations.

Templates and tutorials

Templates and tutorials for headless projects are available in the Wix Headless portal.
