Content Hub

Get Content Detail

Fetch the full detail of a single tracked content item — including the actual text: the content brief (brief) and the article/page body (body). body holds generated drafts, optimize rewrites, snipe articles, authored text, and scraped tracked-page bodies alike.

Use this after listing tracked content (POST /api/v1/content) to read the text behind a content_id, or to poll status while generation runs — generated_brief means the brief is ready while the article is still being written. Also exposed as the MCP tool get_content_detail.

For an optimize item, source_url is the live page it is based on, available as soon as the item exists. url stays null until POST /api/v1/content/{content_id}/publish records the published page and marks the item done, so read source_url to link a request in review to its page without changing its status.

Tracked pages that have not been scraped yet return null text fields. Unknown or hidden content_id returns 404.

Authorizations

x-api-key

string

header

required

API key for authentication. You can create one here.

Path Parameters

content_id

string<uuid>

required

The UUID of the content item to fetch.

Query Parameters

website_id

string<uuid>

required

The website the content item belongs to.

Response

Successful response with the content item's full detail.

content_id

string<uuid>

required

The content item's id.

title

string | null

required

The content's title.

url

string | null

required

The content's display URL.

normalized_url

string | null

required

The normalized URL — the value joined against citation data.

source_url

string | null

required

For an optimize item, the live page it is based on, available as soon as the item exists and in the same form as url. null for other content types and for optimizations based on pasted text or a file. Running the optimization again on another page or a file updates it. Unlike url, it does not depend on publishing and does not start citation attribution.

type

string | null

required

How the content entered the hub: draft (Athena-written article), optimize (rewrite of an existing page), snipe, slice, manual (authored in the editor), external (added manually), imported (via GA4).

Example:

"draft"

sheet_id

string<uuid> | null

required

The Content Hub sheet the item belongs to. See GET /api/v1/content/sheets.

status

enum<string> | null

required

Generation lifecycle status. pending/pending_brief/pending_article mean work is in flight; generated_brief means the brief is ready while the article is still being written; generated means the text is ready; done means published/marked done; scheduled means a publish is scheduled. null when the item has no generation record yet (e.g. a tracked page that has not been scraped).

Available options:

done,

generated,

failed,

pending,

generated_brief,

pending_brief,

pending_article,

scheduled

brief

string | null

required

The content brief, as markdown. Available once status reaches generated_brief.

body

string | null

required

The article/page body, as markdown. Holds the generated draft, the optimize rewrite, the snipe article, authored text, or the scraped body of a tracked page — depending on type.

meta_description

string | null

required

The generated meta description.

cited_urls

string[] | null

required

External source URLs cited by the body. Not to be confused with citations on POST /api/v1/content, which is the count of AI responses citing this URL.

internal_links

string[] | null

required

Internal URLs linked from the body.

brief_cited_urls

string[] | null

required

External source URLs referenced by the brief.

brief_internal_links

string[] | null

required

Internal URLs suggested by the brief.

optimize_summary

object | null

required

For optimize items: a summary of what the rewrite changed. null for other types or when no rewrite has completed.
