# Wagtail API Wagtail includes a built-in API module that provides a public-facing, JSON-formatted API to allow retrieving content as raw field data. This is useful for cases like serving content to non-web clients (such as a mobile phone app) or pulling content out of Wagtail for use in another site. See [RFC 8: Wagtail API](https://github.com/wagtail/rfcs/blob/main/text/008-wagtail-api.md#12---stable-and-unstable-versions) for full details on our stabilization policy. Wagtail is built on Django, so you can also use other Django solutions for building APIs such as [with Django Ninja](django-ninja.md#api-ninja) or [with GraphQL](https://github.com/torchbox/wagtail-grapple). * [Wagtail API v2 configuration guide](v2/configuration.md) * [Basic configuration](v2/configuration.md#basic-configuration) * [Additional settings](v2/configuration.md#additional-settings) * [Wagtail API v2 usage guide](v2/usage.md) * [Fetching content](v2/usage.md#fetching-content) * [Default endpoint fields](v2/usage.md#default-endpoint-fields) * [Changes since v1](v2/usage.md#changes-since-v1) * [How to set up Django Ninja](django-ninja.md) * [Basic configuration](django-ninja.md#basic-configuration) * [OpenAPI documentation](django-ninja.md#openapi-documentation)
