Overview

The REST API is optimised for consumption by the web frontend, and allows for any data access or modification that can be done via that frontend. It will have its own domain, distinct from the frontend - for example the public instance of Flow uses api.flow.bio.

You can interact with it using any HTTP client or library. For many endpoints an access token must be given as a request header (as explained in the next section) but otherwise there are no special requirements.
