Matomo ApiReference API is one of 61 APIs that [Matomo](https://apis.io/providers/matomo/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Analytics, OpenAPI, and Documentation. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

The Matomo ApiReference API exposes 3 operations of the Matomo Reporting API (module `ApiReference`). Reads the OpenAPI 3.1.0 documents Matomo generates for each installed plugin. This is the endpoint the 59 specs in this repo were harvested from. Every operation is dispatched through the single `/index.php?module=API&method=ApiReference.<Action>` entrypoint on the customer's own Matomo instance, self-hosted or on Matomo Cloud. The OpenAPI 3.1.0 document is Matomo's own, generated by its first-party ApiReference plugin.
