CMS with AI, Not AI CMS: Wagtail 8.0's New API

Wagtail 8.0 introduces a new v3 API, shifting focus from admin UI improvements to automation. The API exposes over 50 admin operations for pages, images, and documents, with typed endpoints, Markdown support, and integration for custom Django models. It's designed for both scripted tasks and AI agents, enabling workflows like bulk SEO fixes or content imports. The API is opt-in and available as a preview, with feedback sought before the 8.1 release.
