CloudKit Web Services is one of 10 APIs that [Apple CloudKit](https://apis.io/providers/cloudkit/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include REST, Records, Zones, and Subscription. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The CloudKit Web Services REST API is structured as /database/1/{container}/{environment}/{database}/{operation}, where database is one of public, private, or shared and environment is development or production. Operations include records lookup, query, modify, delete, zone create/list/delete, subscription create/list/delete, asset upload, user info and changes. Calls are authenticated using an API token for user-authenticated access (with ckWebAuthToken) or a server-to-server ECDSA key for backend access.
