You may now fetch the rendered HTML of widgets created via Widgets API or Page Builder.

To get the content, you’ll need to provide a page type, and the ID for the page (if necessary). In the response, you’ll get a list of all the regions on that page, and the HTML of the widgets within those regions. This response can be used to inject Widget content into a headless storefront, or in any other situation where you need to flexibly access the content.

Here’s an example query:

# Get the widget HTML for the home page
query getHomePageContentWidgets {
  site {
    content {
      renderedRegionsByPageType(pageType: HOME) {
        regions {
          name
          html
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
