  description: >-
    The IETF Datatracker REST API provides programmatic, read-only access to
    IETF data including documents, RFCs, drafts, working groups, meetings, IPR
    disclosures, and IESG ballot positions. Responses are returned as JSON or
    XML. Public list endpoints under /api/v1/ require no authentication; some
    privileged write operations require a Personal API Key.
