Strapi Integration in Reading
Connecting Strapi to Reading applications, where the permissions configuration decides what the world can read. Endpoints are controlled per content type and per action, and the common mistake is opening what the front end needs without checking what else that role now reaches — including drafts and fields intended for internal use.
Why this comes up
The problem
Public read access was enabled for a content type, and it is returning draft entries alongside published ones.
What you get
What we deliver
- Public role permissions granted per content type rather than broadly
- Draft and published states handled, so unpublished content is not served
- Field-level exposure checked, since internal fields are returned by default
- API tokens used for authenticated access with the narrowest scope needed
- Populate and filtering used deliberately, as relations are not returned by default
- Rate limiting and caching applied, since the CMS is now on the request path

Working in Reading
South East
Reading anchors the Thames Valley technology corridor, and local firms are often part of large enterprise supply chains where security review and integration standards are set by someone else.
Work here usually has to satisfy someone else's security and integration standards, because clients sit inside larger enterprise supply chains.

Strapi Integration in Reading — common questions
- What is easy to expose accidentally?
- Fields nobody meant to publish. A content type opened for public read returns its fields, including internal notes, editorial flags or anything added for workflow — so reviewing what a public request actually returns is worth doing before launch.
- How are drafts handled?
- Through the publication state, which has to be respected in the query. A front end fetching without specifying it can receive unpublished entries, which is the sort of thing discovered when an editor's work-in-progress appears on the live site.
- Why do relations need populating?
- Because they are omitted by default. A request for an article returns the article without its author or category unless the query asks for them, which surprises teams expecting nested data — and over-populating returns far more than the page needs.
- Does the CMS need caching?
- If it serves the front end at request time, yes. It is now a dependency of every page view, so caching responses or generating statically protects both performance and the CMS itself from load it was not sized for.
- Do you work with businesses across Berkshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Reading and the surrounding Berkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Reading businesses do you usually work with?
- Work here usually has to satisfy someone else's security and integration standards, because clients sit inside larger enterprise supply chains. Beyond that we work across Technology, Telecommunications, Financial Services and Professional Services.
- Do you cover the areas around Reading?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Oxford, London, Milton Keynes, Southampton. Reading is an urban area of roughly 340,000+, and we take on work across the wider Berkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
