Talking to DatoCMS from code:
- Content Delivery API (CDA) — the fast, read-only GraphQL API your website/app uses to fetch published content.
- Content Management API (CMA) — the REST API for creating and updating content, models, and project settings (think scripts, migrations, integrations).
- CLI — terminal tool for schema migrations and importing from Contentful/WordPress.
