  • Schema introspection for automatic content type management - Support for both REST API and GraphQL queries - Image processing and media upload handling - JWT authentication for secure access
  1. Building AI applications that require interaction with Strapi content
  2. Managing content types dynamically through schema introspection
  3. Uploading and processing media files within a Strapi instance
