title: Objects
description: "Objects are the structured data models for a website: types, fields (including picker-built calculated fields), entries, permissions, components, and lifecycles. Content kinds store app data; a user-kind type backs signed-in website members. Definitions stay pure-schema-driven so recreation and behavior stay consistent across interfaces."

All website-scoped routes require a Bearer platform access token and access to the website. Writes often need create_update_delete_object_types or entry-level permissions.

Define object types, field schemas, and publishing options.

Field types you can put on an object type, including calculated fields and shared options.

Control who can read and write entries.

Automate emails, field updates, timed schedules, and create-entry actions from schema (up to 20 events per type).

Create and manage entry records.

Detail, list, and form design surfaces for an object type.
