AI-generated

Summary

Retrieve the schema definition of a specified Craft collection to understand its data structure and validation rules.

Inputs

  • Collection (required) — Select or enter the collection ID obtained from the GET /collections endpoint, either by choosing from a list of collections or entering the ID manually.
  • Schema Options — Specify the schema format to return: either 'JSON Schema Items' for validation schema of the collection's items (default) or 'Schema Structure' for the editable schema layout.

Output shape

a JSON object containing the schema of the specified collection in the chosen format.

The output schema format depends on the selected 'Format' option; by default, it returns item validation schemas. Errors result in node execution failure unless 'Continue on Fail' is enabled.

Examples

Example 1: Retrieve the JSON schema for items in a selected collection

Set the Collection parameter to a valid collection identifier. Leave 'Format' as the default 'JSON Schema Items'. The output JSON provides validation details for items in that collection.

Example 2: Retrieve the editable schema structure of a collection

Set the Collection parameter to a valid collection ID. Set 'Format' to 'Schema Structure'. The output JSON represents the editable structure of the collection's schema.
