Instructions

1. Sites Management

import { WebflowClient } from "webflow-api";

const webflow = new WebflowClient({
  accessToken: process.env.WEBFLOW_API_TOKEN!,
});

// List all sites
async function listSites() {
  const { sites } = await webflow.sites.list();
  for (const site of sites!) {
    console.log(`${site.displayName} (${site.id})`);
    console.log(`  Short name: ${site.shortName}`);
    console.log(`  Timezone: ${site.timeZone}`);
    console.log(`  Created: ${site.createdOn}`);
    console.log(`  Last published: ${site.lastPublished}`);
    console.log(`  Custom domains: ${site.customDomains?.map(d => d.url).join(", ")}`);
    console.log(`  Default locale: ${site.locales?.[0]?.displayName}`);
  }
}

// Get single site details
async function getSite(siteId: string) {
  const site = await webflow.sites.get(siteId);
  return site;
}

// Publish site (rate limit: 1 per minute)
async function publishSite(siteId: string, domains?: string[]) {
  await webflow.sites.publish(siteId, {
    publishToWebflowSubdomain: true,
    customDomains: domains, // Optional: publish to specific domains
  });
  console.log("Site published successfully");
}

2. Pages API

// List all pages for a site
async function listPages(siteId: string) {
  const { pages } = await webflow.pages.list(siteId);

  for (const page of pages!) {
    console.log(`${page.title} (${page.id})`);
    console.log(`  Slug: ${page.slug}`);
    console.log(`  SEO title: ${page.seo?.title}`);
    console.log(`  SEO description: ${page.seo?.description}`);
    console.log(`  Open Graph image: ${page.openGraph?.titleCopied}`);
    console.log(`  Created: ${page.createdOn}`);
    console.log(`  Published: ${page.publishedPath}`);
  }
}

// Get page metadata
async function getPage(pageId: string) {
  const page = await webflow.pages.getMetadata(pageId);
  return page;
}

// Update page SEO metadata
async function updatePageSEO(pageId: string) {
  await webflow.pages.updatePageSettings(pageId, {
    seo: {
      title: "New SEO Title — My Site",
      description: "Updated meta description for search engines.",
    },
    openGraph: {
      title: "New OG Title",
      description: "Updated Open Graph description for social shares.",
    },
  });
}

3. Form Submissions

// List forms on a site
async function listForms(siteId: string) {
  const { forms } = await webflow.forms.list(siteId);

  for (const form of forms!) {
    console.log(`Form: ${form.displayName} (${form.id})`);
    console.log(`  Site ID: ${form.siteId}`);
    console.log(`  Page name: ${form.pageName}`);
    console.log(`  Submission count: ${form.submissionCount}`);
    console.log(`  Fields:`);
    for (const field of form.fields || []) {
      console.log(`    ${field.displayName} (${field.type})`);
    }
  }
}

// Get form submissions (paginated)
async function getFormSubmissions(formId: string) {
  const { formSubmissions } = await webflow.forms.listSubmissions(formId, {
    limit: 100,
    offset: 0,
  });

  for (const sub of formSubmissions!) {
    console.log(`Submission ${sub.id}:`);
    console.log(`  Submitted: ${sub.submittedAt}`);
    console.log(`  Data: ${JSON.stringify(sub.formData)}`);
  }
}

// Export all form submissions to CSV
async function exportFormData(formId: string) {
  const allSubmissions = [];
  let offset = 0;
  const limit = 100;

  while (true) {
    const { formSubmissions, pagination } =
      await webflow.forms.listSubmissions(formId, { limit, offset });

    allSubmissions.push(...(formSubmissions || []));
    if (allSubmissions.length >= (pagination?.total || 0)) break;
    offset += limit;
  }

  return allSubmissions.map(sub => sub.formData);
}

4. Ecommerce — Products & SKUs

// List all products
async function listProducts(siteId: string) {
  const { items } = await webflow.products.list(siteId, {
    limit: 100,
    offset: 0,
  });

  for (const product of items!) {
    console.log(`Product: ${product.product?.fieldData?.name}`);
    console.log(`  ID: ${product.product?.id}`);
    console.log(`  Slug: ${product.product?.fieldData?.slug}`);
    console.log(`  SKUs:`);
    for (const sku of product.skus || []) {
      console.log(`    ${sku.fieldData?.name}: $${sku.fieldData?.price?.value}`);
      console.log(`    Inventory: ${sku.fieldData?.quantity}`);
    }
  }
}

// Get single product with all SKUs
async function getProduct(siteId: string, productId: string) {
  const product = await webflow.products.get(siteId, productId);
  return product;
}

// Create a product
async function createProduct(siteId: string) {
  const product = await webflow.products.create(siteId, {
    product: {
      fieldData: {
        name: "Premium Widget",
        slug: "premium-widget",
        description: "<p>Our best-selling widget</p>",
      },
    },
    sku: {
      fieldData: {
        name: "Default",
        slug: "default",
        price: { value: 2999, unit: "USD" }, // Price in cents
        quantity: 100,
        "sku-properties": [],
      },
    },
  });

  console.log(`Created product: ${product.product?.id}`);
}

// Update inventory
async function updateInventory(
  siteId: string,
  collectionId: string,
  itemId: string,
  quantity: number
) {
  await webflow.inventory.update(collectionId, itemId, {
    inventoryType: "finite",
    updateQuantity: quantity,
  });
}

5. Ecommerce — Orders

// List orders
async function listOrders(siteId: string) {
  const { orders } = await webflow.orders.list(siteId, {
    limit: 100,
  });

  for (const order of orders!) {
    console.log(`Order #${order.orderId} (${order.status})`);
    console.log(`  Customer: ${order.customerInfo?.fullName}`);
    console.log(`  Email: ${order.customerInfo?.email}`);
    console.log(`  Total: $${(order.customerPaid?.value || 0) / 100}`);
    console.log(`  Items: ${order.purchasedItems?.length}`);
    console.log(`  Created: ${order.acceptedOn}`);
  }
}

// Get order details
async function getOrder(siteId: string, orderId: string) {
  const order = await webflow.orders.get(siteId, orderId);
  return order;
}

// Update order status (fulfill, refund)
async function fulfillOrder(siteId: string, orderId: string) {
  await webflow.orders.update(siteId, orderId, {
    status: "fulfilled",
  });
}

// Refund an order
async function refundOrder(siteId: string, orderId: string) {
  await webflow.orders.refund(siteId, orderId);
  console.log(`Refunded order: ${orderId}`);
}

6. Custom Code

// Register custom code to the site head/footer
async function addSiteCustomCode(siteId: string) {
  // Register hosted script
  await webflow.scripts.registerHosted(siteId, {
    hostedLocation: "https://cdn.example.com/analytics.js",
    integrityHash: "sha384-...",
    canCopy: false,
    version: "1.0.0",
    displayName: "Analytics Script",
  });

  // Register inline script
  await webflow.scripts.registerInline(siteId, {
    sourceCode: "console.log('Hello from custom code');",
    version: "1.0.0",
    canCopy: true,
    displayName: "Debug Script",
  });
}

Output

• Sites: list, get details, publish with domain control
• Pages: list, read SEO metadata, update Open Graph settings
• Forms: list forms, read all submissions, export data
• Ecommerce: CRUD products/SKUs, manage orders, update inventory
• Custom Code: register hosted and inline scripts
