<h1>Outline API</h1>

First thing we build for Outline was its API. It's the heart and sole
of the service and as developers, it's our mission to make the API as
rich and easy to use as possible.

<h2>Making requests</h2>
<p>
Outline's API follows simple RPC style conventions where each API
endpoint is a method on{' '}
<code>https://www.getoutline.com/api/&lt;METHOD&gt;</code>. Both{' '}
<code>GET</code> and <code>POST</code> methods are supported but it's
recommeded that you make all call using <code>POST</code>. Only HTTPS
is supported in production.

For <code>GET</code> requests query string parameters are expected
(e.g.
<code>/api/document.info?id=...&token=...</code>). When making{' '}
<code>POST</code> requests, request parameters are parsed depending on{' '}
<code>Content-Type</code> header. To make a call using JSON payload,
one must pass <code>Content-Type: application/json</code> header:

<h2>Authentication</h2>
<p>
To access private API endpoints, you must provide a valid API key. You
can create new API keys in your{' '}
<a href={`${process.env.URL}/settings`}>account settings</a>. Be
careful when handling your keys as they give access to all of your
documents.

</p>
<p>
To authenticate with Outline API, you can supply the API key as a
header (<code>Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY</code>) or as part of
the payload using <code>token</code> parameter. If you're making{' '}
<code>GET</code> requests, header based authentication is recommended
so that your keys don't leak into logs.

and they can be called without an API key.

<h2>Errors</h2>

All successful API requests will be returned with <code>200</code>{' '}

there's an error while making the request, appropriate status code is
returned with the <code>error</code> message:
