Django CMS

Django CMS is an open-source, enterprise-grade content management system built on Django and Python. It provides a REST API via the djangocms-rest package (built on Django REST Framework and drf-spectacular) that exposes pages, plugins, placeholders, navigation menus, breadcrumbs, and content structures as a browsable, read-only JSON/OpenAPI 3 interface. The API enables headless CMS deployments, allowing decoupled frontend applications — SPAs, static site generators, and mobile apps — to consume CMS-managed content with full multi-language and multi-site support.

Django CMS publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Breadcrumbs API, Health API, Languages API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include CMS, Content Management, Django, Python, and Headless CMS.

The Django CMS catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Django CMS’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, pricing, and 10 more developer resources.
