API

Everything except the login, the health check and the two share routes requires the session cookie; /api/capture takes a token instead. Media answers Range requests, so a video seeks, sealed or not.

method	path	purpose
GET	/api/health	public: up, and the database answers — for a supervisor
POST	/api/login, /api/logout	session; /api/logout?everywhere=true ends every one
GET	/api/me	current user
GET	/api/sessions	every signed-in browser, the one seen last first
DELETE	/api/sessions/{id}	sign another browser out, and lock the vault
GET/POST	/api/spaces	the spaces / create one
GET/POST	/api/nodes	children (?parent=) or search (?q=, ?space=; a file matched by its text has in_text and the words around the match as excerpt, each matched word between U+0002 and U+0003) / create, from a template with template_id
GET/PUT/DELETE	/api/nodes/{id}	read / update only the fields sent — name, body, created_at, has_board; with base_updated_at, refused with 409 once it was saved since / delete into the trash, subtree and all — or for good, for something already in it
GET/DELETE	/api/trash	what was deleted, the last first / empty it
DELETE	/api/trash/{id}	delete one thing in the trash for good
POST	/api/trash/{id}/restore	back where it was deleted from, or to its space when that folder is gone
GET	/api/spaces/{id}/board	the lists and cards of one space
GET	/api/agenda	open cards due within a week or in hand, on every board, whether the diary has today, its entries on_this_day in earlier years, and today in WORKSPACE_TIMEZONE, with its bounds
GET	/api/diary/days?month=2026-10	the diary's entries in a month, each with its local day
POST	/api/diary/day	{ day? }: the entry of 2026-10-22, or of today in WORKSPACE_TIMEZONE, started from templates/day when there is none; answers { id, created }
GET	/api/diary/around/{id}	the entries before and after a diary entry, by date
GET	/api/nodes/{id}/templates	the templates of the space the node is in
POST	/api/capture	{ text, to: "card" | "diary" | "note" | "document", space?, document?, note? }, with a session or Authorization: Bearer a token; note is a scratch note the text came from, dropped once it has landed

POST	/api/spaces/{id}/lists	add a list

POST	/api/lists/{id}/cards	add a card
PUT/DELETE	/api/cards/{id}	update (title, body, due, repeat, checklist, labels, done, link) / delete; finishing a repeating card answers its copy as again
POST	/api/cards/{id}/move	to another list and place in it; again as above
GET	/api/cards?q=…	cards whose title, summary or a checklist step matches, open ones first; space keeps it to one board
GET/POST	/api/scratch	the scratchpad's notes, the one touched last first, or with ?q= those a search finds / a new note { body }
PUT/DELETE	/api/scratch/{id}	rewrite a note { body } / drop it

POST	/api/nodes/move	{ ids, parent_id }: several into one folder, all or none

GET	/api/nodes/{id}/revisions	a document's earlier versions, the newest first
GET	/api/nodes/{id}/revisions/{rev}	one earlier version, with its text
GET	/api/nodes/{id}/backlinks	the documents that link to this one, with the line each does it on
GET	/api/nodes/{id}/cards	the cards about this document: its own (node_id) and the ones whose summary links here — also in the node itself as cards
POST/DELETE	/api/nodes/{id}/share	mint or rotate / revoke a share link
GET	/api/export	the whole workspace, boards and dates included, as a zip
