# API Reference Doc

## GENERAL

Most actions that can be performed via API can be performed via UI. We recommend managing your networks using our official netmaker-ui project. That said, Netmaker is API based, and all functions can also be achieved via API calls. If you feel the need to work with Netmaker via API, we've provided some documentation below to help guide you.
 
#### Authentication
 In general, API calls must be authenticated via a header of  the format  `-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_SECRET_KEY>"` There are two methods of obtaining YOUR_SECRET_KEY:
1. Using the masterkey. By default, this value is "secret key," but you should change this on your instance and keep it secure. This value can be set via env var at startup or in a config file (config/environments/< env >.yaml). See the [general usage](./USAGE.md) documentation for more details.
2. Using a JWT recieved for a node. This  can be retrieved by calling the `/api/nodes/<network>/authenticate` endpoint, as documented below.

#### Format 
In general, requests will take the format of `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_SECRET_KEY>" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' localhost:8081/api/path/to/endpoint`
