What the TYPO3 Suite adds#

The TYPO3 Suite is a commercial delivery channel for TYPO3 features. It is not a fork or a separate version of TYPO3 CMS. TYPO3 CMS stays free and open source.

Manufacturer responsibility

For Suite components, the TYPO3 Company is the manufacturer under the EU Cyber Resilience Act. You or your agency are responsible for your code, your extensions and the integration in the project.

Long-term support

Each Suite version gets updates and up to 7 years of support. Supported versions get ELTS access.

Access through partners

Only official TYPO3 Solution and Technology Partners can supply the Suite. Your partner sets up the access and helps you in the project.

Offer and prices

The page of the TYPO3 Suite describes the current offer and the prices.

TYPO3 Core#

TYPO3 14.3 gets API Hub through the Suite, before the regular release cycle. The TYPO3 Company submitted this feature for integration in TYPO3 v15 as patches for review, and it will likely be part of it. The epic #111053 tracks the work on the Core.

Standards

The API uses OAuth 2.0, OpenAPI 3.1, JSON Schema and problem details. This does not change with the delivery channel.

Rules for changes

Each action has its own version. An incompatible change gets a new version. The old version stays available until the next major version of TYPO3. See Versions and deprecation.

Steps of an adoption#

Choose one integration

Start with a useful case that is not critical. Read-only access is best. See Use cases.

Test on a test system

Your TYPO3 partner sets up the access to the Suite. A developer then installs the extension and creates an app. See the quick start.

Review security and operations

Examine Your responsibilities with the operators of the installation.

Define the rules for access

Decide who can create apps, where you keep tokens, and how often you review the list of apps.

Start production use

Start production use of the first integration. Then move the other integrations, one at a time.

Frequently asked questions#

Does it replace the TYPO3 backend?

No. Editors continue to work in the backend. API Hub adds an API for other applications. The same permissions apply.

Does it make TYPO3 a headless CMS?

No. It is for applications that use a backend user. It does not supply content to anonymous website visitors.

Can an application have more access than its user?

No. The permissions of the backend user always apply. Scopes can only reduce the access.

Are AI assistants safe to use?

An agent can use the REST API with a token. Scopes and permissions limit it, as all other apps do. Start with read access. With write access, the agent can change all data that its backend user can change.

More components of the TYPO3 Suite for AI agents are planned. They will use the apps, tokens and scopes of API Hub, so the same control applies.

What happens when an employee leaves?

Disable the backend user. The next request of each app that uses this user then fails.

Who has to maintain it?

The TYPO3 Company supplies updates and is the manufacturer of the Suite components. Your team or agency updates the installation and is responsible for its extensions. Administrators manage apps in the backend. They do not have to know how to develop software.

What does it cost?

API Hub is part of the TYPO3 Suite. TYPO3 CMS stays free. The page of the TYPO3 Suite shows the current offer and the prices.

What changes with TYPO3 v15?

The TYPO3 Company submitted this feature for integration in TYPO3 v15, and it will likely be part of it. A feature in the Core is part of a regular release and is available to all users.
