FlareBuilder

Quickstart

This walks through the shortest path from zero to published content served by the Feed API. It doesn’t cover every option — each step links to the full reference.

  1. Create your organization

    Go to flarebuilder.com/signup, enter an organization name (a URL slug is suggested automatically — you can edit it), and sign in with Google or a magic link. The first person to sign in becomes the organization’s account admin.

    Your workspace is live at https://your-slug.flarebuilder.com.

  2. Create a template

    Templates define the shape of your content. In your workspace, go to Templates → New Template — or click Need inspiration? to start from a pre-built template (Blog Post, Event, Announcement, and others) and customize it.

    At minimum, a template needs a title configuration and one section with one field:

    {
      "schemaVersion": "10.0",
      "name": "Announcement",
      "title": { "label": "Headline" },
      "sections": [
        {
          "id": "content",
          "label": "Content",
          "fields": [
            { "id": "summary", "label": "Summary", "type": "multiline" }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }

    See Templates for the full field-type and validation reference.

  3. Create and publish content

    Go to Content → New, pick your template, fill in the fields, and set a publish date (immediate or scheduled). Contributors need editor/admin approval to publish, depending on your organization’s settings — editors and admins can publish directly.

  4. Pull it into a page

    Your content is now live on the Feed API — no further setup required:

    Terminal window
    curl "https://your-slug.flarebuilder.com/feed"

    For the fastest way to display it, drop the embed widget onto any page:

    <script type="module" src="https://flarebuilder.com/widget/v1/flare-feed.min.js"></script>
    

    <flare-feed
      src="https://your-slug.flarebuilder.com/feed"
      max-items="10"
      show-image
      show-date
    ></flare-feed>
