Content Hub

Get Content Detail

Fetch the full detail of a single tracked content item — including the actual text: the content brief (brief) and the article/page body (body). body holds generated drafts, optimize rewrites, snipe articles, authored text, and scraped tracked-page bodies alike.

Use this after listing tracked content (POST /api/v1/content) to read the text behind a content_id, or to poll status while generation runs — generated_brief means the brief is ready while the article is still being written. Also exposed as the MCP tool get_content_detail.

Tracked pages that have not been scraped yet return null text fields. Unknown or hidden content_id returns 404.
