Contentful Integration in Aberdeen

Connecting Contentful to Aberdeen applications, where using the wrong endpoint is the mistake that surfaces late. Published content comes from a delivery API served by a global network; draft content requires a separate preview API — so a build wired to one of them cannot do what the other is for, and editors discover it when preview shows them nothing.

Why this comes up

The problem

Editors cannot preview drafts, because the front end reads from the delivery API which only serves published entries.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Delivery and preview endpoints used for their respective purposes
  • Preview implemented so editors can see drafts before publishing
  • Rate limits respected, with responses cached rather than fetched repeatedly
  • Webhooks used to trigger rebuilds or invalidation when content changes
  • Generated types kept in step with the content model
  • Errors handled so a content fetch failure degrades rather than breaking the page

Contentful Integration in Aberdeen — common questions

Why are there two APIs?
Because they serve different needs. The delivery API returns published content through a fast global network; the preview API returns drafts and is not cached the same way — so preview requires deliberately using the second rather than a flag on the first.
How should rate limits be handled?
By not fetching the same content repeatedly. Caching responses and rebuilding on webhooks rather than polling keeps request volume proportionate to how often content changes, which is far lower than how often pages are viewed.
What are webhooks for here?
Telling your application that content changed. A statically generated site needs to know when to rebuild the affected pages, and a cached one needs to know when to invalidate — without that, editors publish and wait, or your cache times are shorter than they need to be.
Should types be generated?
Where the stack supports it, yes. Generating types from the content model means a field removed or renamed fails the build rather than producing an undefined value at runtime, which catches the mismatch while somebody can still act on it.
Do you work with businesses across Aberdeenshire?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Aberdeen and the surrounding Aberdeenshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Aberdeen businesses do you usually work with?
Energy supply chain systems with rigorous documentation, and asset and compliance tracking for offshore operations. Beyond that we work across Oil & Gas, Renewable Energy, Marine, Higher Education and Food & Fishing.
Do you cover the areas around Aberdeen?
Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Dundee, Inverness, Edinburgh. Aberdeen is an urban area of roughly 200,000+, and we take on work across the wider Aberdeenshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
