# Wagtail API The API module provides a public-facing, JSON-formatted API to allow retrieving content as raw field data. This is useful for cases like serving content to non-web clients (such as a mobile phone app) or pulling content out of Wagtail for use in another site. See [RFC 8: Wagtail API](https://github.com/wagtail/rfcs/blob/main/text/008-wagtail-api.md#12---stable-and-unstable-versions) for full details on our stabilisation policy. ```{toctree} --- maxdepth: 2 --- v2/configuration v2/usage ```
