Documented steps
GET https://api.webflow.com/v2/pages/{page_id}/dom (scope pages:read) with optional localeId, limit (max 100) and offset. Returns pageId, nodes[] and pagination { limit, offset, total }.
Each node has id, type ('text' or 'component-instance', plus image and form-field variants), a text { html, text } payload for text nodes, and propertyOverrides for component instances.
POST https://api.webflow.com/v2/pages/{page_id}/dom (scope pages:write) to write content back. localeId is required on this call.
Body is nodes[], up to 1000 nodes per request. Text nodes need nodeId and text; component-instance nodes need nodeId and propertyOverrides[].
The HTML you send must match the tag structure returned by GET for that node — you are replacing inner content, not restructuring the DOM.
For component instances, fetch component properties via the component properties endpoint first so your overrides key correctly.
Known gotchas
This POST works only on secondary locales. If localeId is missing or is the primary/default locale, the request fails — you cannot use this endpoint to edit default-locale copy, which surprises most agents attempting a bulk copy edit.
You must GET first to obtain valid nodeIds; they are not derivable from the page structure and are not stable to guess.
Elements carrying data-w-id attributes must keep their original value in your updated HTML, or custom attributes and link behavior break across locales.
Changing the HTML tag structure inside a text node (adding wrappers, changing tags) is rejected or silently mangles the node.
