List all collections in the Directus instance. Returns collection names, metadata, and schema information.

Get detailed information about a specific collection including all fields, metadata, and schema configuration.

Create a new collection (database table) in Directus. Automatically creates a proper database table with schema. Can include initial fields. Example: {collection: "articles", meta: {icon: "article", note: "Blog articles"}, fields: [{field: "id", type: "integer", schema: {is_primary_key: true, has_auto_increment: true}}, {field: "title", type: "string"}]}

Update collection metadata such as icon, note, visibility settings, etc.

Delete a collection and all its data. This action cannot be undone. Use with caution.

List all fields in a specific collection with their types, metadata, and schema configuration.

Add a new field to a collection. Specify field type, interface, and constraints. Example: {collection: "articles", field: "status", type: "string", meta: {interface: "select-dropdown", options: {choices: [{text: "Draft", value: "draft"}, {text: "Published", value: "published"}]}, required: true}}

Update field properties such as metadata, interface options, or schema constraints.

Remove a field from a collection. This will delete the column and all its data. Use with caution.

List all relations (foreign keys, M2O, O2M, M2M) in the Directus instance.

Create a relation between collections (M2O, O2M, or M2M). For M2O: specify collection, field, and related_collection. For O2M: also include meta.one_field. Example M2O: {collection: "articles", field: "author", related_collection: "users"}

Delete a relation. Specify the collection and field that contains the relation.

Query items from a collection with advanced filtering, sorting, pagination, and search. Supports Directus filter operators like _eq, _neq, _lt, _lte, _gt, _gte, _in, _nin, _null, _nnull, _contains, _ncontains, _starts_with, _nstarts_with, _ends_with, _nends_with, _between, _nbetween. Example: {collection: "articles", filter: {"status": {"_eq": "published"}, "date_created": {"_gte": "2024-01-01"}}, sort: ["-date_created"], limit: 10}

Get a single item by ID from a collection. Optionally specify fields to return and deep query for relational data.

Create a new item in a collection. Provide the item data as key-value pairs. Example: {collection: "articles", data: {title: "My Article", status: "draft", body: "Article content..."}}

Update an existing item in a collection. Provide the item ID and fields to update. Example: {collection: "articles", id: 1, data: {status: "published"}}

Delete an item from a collection by ID. This action cannot be undone.

Create multiple items in a collection at once. More efficient than creating items one by one. Example: {collection: "articles", items: [{title: "Article 1", status: "draft"}, {title: "Article 2", status: "draft"}]}

Update multiple items in a collection at once. Each item must include an id field. Example: {collection: "articles", items: [{id: 1, status: "published"}, {id: 2, status: "published"}]}

Delete multiple items from a collection at once by their IDs. This action cannot be undone. Example: {collection: "articles", ids: [1, 2, 3]}
