List space types
GET
https://forumulate.com/api /space-types The whole space-type vocabulary as data: for each type, what a piece is called, what a container is called, which tabs exist and which fields a piece declares. Read it instead of hard-coding that a blog answers articles and a forum answers topics.
Parameters
forumulate-versionstringheaderAPI version negotiation. Send
forumulate-version: 2026-12-01 on every request from a new integration; it is optional only so that integrations written before versioning keep working. Each version includes everything before it:limitintegerqueryRows per page. Defaults to 100. 500 is the most this endpoint serves — a larger value is capped, not refused. A value that is not a whole number of 1 or more is a 422, never a silent default.
cursorstringqueryWhere to continue from: pass back the
page.nextCursor of the previous answer. Opaque — there is nothing inside one to construct or parse. Sending one also opts into the enveloped shape, exactly as stating Forumulate-Version does.Code samples

containerstring[]emptyobjectrequiredpiecestring[]requiredprimaryActionstringrequiredpageobjectThe paging envelope a collection carries when the caller states
Forumulate-Version. Each operation’s own response schema says whether it has one: a collection either carries page, or answers both this and its pre-envelope shape and picks by the header. No listing pages with keys of its own any more — the allowlists in openapi-collection-shape.test.ts are empty, which is what stops a new one from appearing. Read hasMore and nextCursor: the snake_case pair beside them is deprecated and is not sent to a caller who states 2026-11-01 or later.Show child parameters
limitintegerrequiredThe limit this page was built with — what was asked for, capped. NOT the number of rows returned: a final page under the limit is normal, and
hasMore is the only thing that says whether to keep walking.hasMorebooleanrequiredWhether another page follows this one.
nextCursorstringrequiredPass back as
cursor to continue. Null on the last page.has_morebooleandeprecatedThe same value as
hasMore. These two are the only snake_case keys in the API. Sent to callers who state 2026-09-01 or no version at all; ABSENT from 2026-11-01 onwards. Read hasMore instead — it is sent on every version.next_cursorstringdeprecatedThe same value as
nextCursor. Absent from 2026-11-01 onwards; read nextCursor.totalintegerRows in the whole collection — the size of the set, not of this page, and not of what you have seen so far. ABSENT where the source cannot count the collection: the append-only logs (staff actions, automation runs, connector activity, ingested questions, chat history) grow without bound and are not counted on every page view. Walk on
hasMore, which is exact on every answer; read total only to show a size, and handle its absence.dataSpaceTypeSpec[]The same rows as the key named after them (
topics, articles, pages, monitors, …), under a key that is the same on every paged list — so one parser reads every collection. The SAME array, not a different selection: read either. Present whenever page is, i.e. when you state Forumulate-Version (or send a cursor); the unversioned shape does not carry it.Show child parameters
