Getting started
From zero to your first API call in about ten minutes — create an account, a project, and a key, then pick a product.
TODO: translate to Indonesian. English source is authoritative; render it into Indonesian below.
This is the fastest path from nothing to a working Sawala Cloud setup. In about ten minutes you'll have an account, a project, and an API key — ready to plug into a real product.
1. Create your account
Go to sawala.cloud and sign up. Verify your email if prompted. Sawala Cloud creates an organization for you automatically, so you have a workspace from the start. (More in Accounts & sign-in.)
2. Open the dashboard
Head to sawala.cloud/dashboard. This is where you'll manage everything that doesn't go through code.
3. Create a project
Your organization needs at least one project to hold content, files, and forms. Create one and give it a clear name — for example my-website or acme-staging.
A project is an isolated space. If you're separating staging from production, or one client from another, make a project for each. See Organizations & projects.
4. Pick a product
Decide what you need first:
- Managing articles, pages, or a catalog? → Kontena
- Hosting images, documents, or downloads? → Berkasna
- Collecting form submissions? → Formulir
You can use more than one — they share the same project.
5. Mint an API key
If you'll read or write data from your own code, create a key under Organization Settings → API Keys. Pick public for read-only client-side use, secret for server-side writes, and scope it to your project. Copy the token — it's shown only once. (Details in API keys & access.)
6. Make your first call
Each product's public API lives under https://api.sawala.cloud/public/<product>, authenticated with the X-API-Key header:
curl https://api.sawala.cloud/public/kontena/projects/<projectId>/content/collection/post \
-H "X-API-Key: pk_live_xxx"Where to go next
Follow a product's hands-on tutorial to build something real:
Agent Skills for AI coding agents
Install the Sawala Agent Skills so Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or OpenAI Codex knows how to drive the Sawala CLI and MCP servers correctly.
What is Kontena
Kontena is Sawala Cloud's headless CMS — a short introduction, when to use it, and how it differs from other CMSes.
