Rendered Widget HTML now available in GraphQL Storefront API

API
Announcement
Storefront API

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
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
