How to define a specific region when using the Content Delivery API

Adding a region parameter to an API request

In order to use the correct region that matches the region of your space, you have to use a different base URL.

The base URL for spaces created in the EU is:

        
      https://api.storyblok.com/v2

The base URL for spaces created in the US is:

        
      https://api-us.storyblok.com/v2

The base URL for spaces created in the Australia region is:

        
      https://api-ap.storyblok.com/v2

The base URL for spaces created in the Canada region is:

        
      https://api-ca.storyblok.com/v2

The base URL for spaces created in China is:

        
      https://app.storyblokchina.cn

Adding a region parameter when using an SDK

JavaScript

Setting the correct region

Depending on whether your space was created in the EU, the US, Australia, Canada, or China, you may need to set the region parameter of the API accordingly:

eu (default): For spaces created in the EU
us: For spaces created in the US
ap: For spaces created in Australia
ca: For spaces created in Canada
cn: For spaces created in China

Here's an example for a space created in the US:

        
      apiOptions: {
  region: "us",
},

WARN:

Note: For spaces created in any region other than the EU, the region parameter must be specified.

HINT:

Since all the Storyblok SDKs use storyblok-js-client, you can use apiOptions to pass down any option such as region to the JS Client.

Please consult our SDK documentation to find specific instructions for the JavaScript frontend framework of your choice:

Defining Regions for Assets

It's essential to understand how asset domains vary based on the chosen location for your space.

The asset domain, or base URL, depends on the region of your Storyblok space:

The URL for assets in the US is:

        
      https://a-us.storyblok.com

The URL for assets in the EU is:

        
      https://a.storyblok.com

The URL for assets in the Australia region is:

        
      https://a-ap.storyblok.com

The URL for assets in the Canada region is:

        
      https://a-ca.storyblok.com

The URL for assets in China is:

        
      https://a.storyblokchina.cn
