Personal Data Server (PDS) API is one of 12 APIs that [AT Protocol](https://apis.io/providers/at-protocol/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include PDS, Personal Data Server, Repository, Sync, and Self-Hosting. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an API reference.

The PDS hosts a user's repository of signed records and exposes the com.atproto.* XRPC methods for account creation, authentication, record CRUD, blob upload, and repository sync. A PDS is the home server for an actor; users can migrate their account (and full record history) between PDS hosts while keeping the same DID.
