Accessing Content
How to render exercises & tasks in your UI.
The Content Library allows your application to fetch and display structured CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and wellbeing exercises. These exercises can be shown as standalone activities, recommended alongside therapy sessions, or included in daily routines.
This page shows how to retrieve content from the therappai API and embed it inside your product.
How Content Delivery Works
Content inside therappai is made up of:
Categories (CBT, DBT, Mindfulness)
Titles & descriptions
Exercise steps or guidance
Tags (e.g., anxiety, grounding, focus)
Optional audio files
Transcripts
Progress & completion data
The API provides simple endpoints for:
listing all content
retrieving detailed exercise information
tracking favourites
tracking progress
Your UI determines how content is displayed.
1. Fetch All Content
Use this if your app has:
a content library screen
a catalog of exercises
personalised recommendations
a carousel of learning tools
Request:
GET /content/
Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKENThis returns a list of content items for the user to browse.
2. Fetch a Specific Exercise
When a user taps into an exercise, fetch its details with:
GET /content/{id}/
Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKENA content item may include:
title
long description
steps or structured exercise
audio file (optional)
transcript
tags
estimated duration
completion attributes
You decide how to render these in your UI — full page, step-by-step, audio player, etc.
3. Mark Content as Favourite
If your app allows saving favourite exercises:
POST /content/{id}/favorite/
Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKENThis helps build:
personalised dashboards
favourites screens
quick access lists
4. Track Content Progress
If an exercise is multi-step or multi-part, your app can track how much the user completes.
Example:
POST /content/{id}/progress/Typical use cases:
update step number
mark complete
show partially completed exercises
This enables “Continue where you left off” flows.
5. Render Content in Your UI
Most developers present content in one of these ways:
Card List
featured exercises
categories
recommendations
Full Exercise Page
title
description
exercise steps
progress controls
audio player
transcript
Bottom Sheet or Modal
Short tools such as grounding exercises.
Audio-First View
For meditations or guided practices.
Chat-Linked Content
Show recommended content after an AI therapy response.
6. Pairing Content with Other Features
Content works best when paired with:
AI Therapy
Suggest relevant exercises after certain messages (e.g., anxiety → grounding tool).
Mood Tracking
Recommend exercises based on mood trends or low check-ins.
Daily Tasks
Use content exercises as part of daily wellbeing routines.
Crisis Buddy
Offer grounding exercises when the user is distressed.
Minimum Viable Content Integration

/content/Fetch details →
