# Developer Tools

> Generate TypeScript API client code, model types, and public API examples from CMS schemas.

Developer Tools generate code from the current CMS databases and fields.

Use this page when a website, integration, or external service needs to read or write CMS entries through the public API.

## What Developer Tools Include

The generated output can include:

* Model identifiers based on database identifiers.
* TypeScript model types.
* Create and update input types.
* A typed CMS client.
* Public endpoint notes.
* API examples for listing, reading, creating, updating, and deleting entries.

## Before Generating Code

Review the database schemas first.

Check that:

* Database identifiers are stable.
* Field keys are readable and unique.
* Required fields are correct.
* Relation fields point to the correct target.
* Select and checkbox options use stable values.

Generated code is only as clear as the schema it reads.

## Public Endpoints

Developer Tools reference the public CMS endpoints:

```text theme={null}
GET /api/public/cms/[modelId]/list
POST /api/public/cms/[modelId]/list
GET /api/public/cms/[modelId]/[id]
PATCH /api/public/cms/[modelId]/[id]
PUT /api/public/cms/[modelId]/[id]
DELETE /api/public/cms/[modelId]/[id]
```

Public requests use an API key.

Create and manage API keys from [API Keys](/console/api-keys).

## Selection And Relations

The generated client supports selecting fields and nested relation fields.

Use selection when a public page only needs part of an entry, or when relation depth should be controlled.

Keep relation depth small for public pages so responses stay fast and predictable.
