Collections

All Collections endpoints sit under /api/brands/{brand}/collections/ with moduleAccess:collections middleware. Authenticate with EF-Access-Key.

Collections are dynamic form schemas. Each collection has a set of typed fields, and every form submission creates an entry validated against that schema.

Get Entry

GET /api/brands/{brand}/collections/{collection}/entries/{entry}

Returns a single entry with all field values flattened to top-level keys.

Create Entry

POST /api/brands/{brand}/collections/{collection}/entries

The request body is validated dynamically against the collection’s field schema. Field codes (e.g. email, full_name) become the body keys. Required fields and type rules are enforced per field definition.

string | number | boolean

One key per collection field, using the field’s code as the key. Type rules: email → valid email, number → numeric, checkbox → boolean, select → must be one of the defined options, all others → string.
