    <!-- STARTLONGDESCRIPTION -->

    These API reference documents, along with client software libraries, are

    generated automatically from an OpenAPI 2.0 ("Swagger") definition file.


    ## Introduction



    A higher-level introduction to the API, as well as a description of the

    fatcat data model, are available in ["The Fatcat Guide"](https://guide.fatcat.wiki/).

    The guide also includes a [Cookbook](https://guide.fatcat.wiki/cookbook.html)

    section demonstrating end-to-end tasks like creating entities as part of

    editgroups, or safely merging duplicate entities.


    ### Expectations and Best Practices


    A test/staging QA API instance of fatcat is available at

    <https://api.qa.fatcat.wiki/v0>. The database backing this instance is

    separate from the production interface, and is periodically rebuilt from

    snapshots of the full production database, meaning that edits on the QA

    server will *NOT* persist, and that semantics like the changelog index

    monotonically increasing *MAY* be broken. Developers are expexcted to test

    their scripts and tools against the QA instance before running against

    production.


    NOTE: as of Spring 2021, the QA server is temporarily unavailable.


    Fatcat is made available as a gratis (no cost) and libre (freedom

    preserving) service to the public, with limited funding and resources. We

    welcome new and unforeseen uses and contributions, but may need to impose

    restrictions (like rate-limits) to keep the service functional for other

    users, and in extreme cases reserve the option to block accounts and IP

    ranges if necessary to keep the service operational.


    The Internet Archive owns and operates it''s own server equipment and data

    centers, and operations are optimized for low-cost, not high-availability.

    Users and partners should expect some downtime on the fatcat API, on the

    order of hours a month.


    Periodic metadata exports are available for batch processing, and database

    snapshots can be used to create locally-hosted mirrors of the service for

    more intensive and reliable querying.


    ### Other Nitty Gritties


    Cross-origin requests are allowed for the API service, to enable third

    parties to build in-browser applications.


    A metadata search service is available at <https://search.fatcat.wiki>.

    The API is currently the raw elasticsearch API, with only GET (read)

    requests allowed. This public service is experimental and may be removed or

    limited in the future.


    ## Authentication


    The API allows basic read-only "GET" HTTP requests with no authentication.

    Proposing changes to the metadata, or other mutating requests ("PUT",

    "POST", "DELETE") all require authentication, and some operations require

    additional account permissions.


    End-user account creation and login happens through the web interface. From

    a logged-in editor profile page, you can generate a API token. Tokens are

    "macaroons", similar to JWT tokens, and are used for all API

    authentication. The web interface includes macaroons in browser cookies and

    passes them through to the API to authenticate editor actions.
