Anecdotes GRC API is one of 3 APIs that [anecdotes](https://apis.io/providers/anecdotes/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Compliance, Governance, Risk, Evidence, and Controls. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, a getting-started guide, and authentication docs.

The Anecdotes API provides programmatic access to the Anecdotes GRC platform: frameworks, requirements, controls, custom fields, risks, findings, policies, analysis rules and evidence. Authentication is two-step - an API token created in the platform is exchanged at GET /identity/v1/apikey/exchange for a JWT valid for one hour, which is then sent as a bearer token on every other call. A descriptive User-Agent header is required or the API returns 403.
