REST API

Overview

The plugin exposes a REST API endpoint that you can use to implement the redirects in your front-end of choice.

Authentication

Use Public role or API Tokens as per Strapi defaults.

Permissions

❗️ Permissions Required

Before you can use the redirects endpoint publicly, you need to configure the find permission. Without proper permissions, you'll get a 403 Forbidden error.

Quick Setup in Settings > Users & Permissions > Roles > Public:

• webtools-addon-redirects.redirect.find

For detailed permission configuration including API tokens and admin panel access, see the API Permissions and Admin Permissions documentation.

Example request

GET http://localhost:1337/api/webtools/redirects
