Tips
- Your API token is stored securely. Rocket encrypts it at rest and never exposes it in client-side code.
- Strapi must be publicly accessible. Your instance needs to be reachable from the internet. Local-only instances will not work unless tunnelled.
- One Strapi project per task. Each Rocket task connects to one set of Strapi credentials. Use different tasks for different Strapi instances.
- Content deletion happens in Strapi. Rocket can create and update records, but delete content and assets directly from your Strapi admin panel.
- Use the right token type. Full Access works for development. Use a Read-only token for production apps that only display content.
