  description: 'Open Collaboration Services (OCS) REST API for a Nextcloud server. Exposes user, group, capability, share, autocomplete, and DAV-direct-link endpoints. All requests must include the `OCS-APIRequest: true` header. Authentication is Basic Auth (username with password or app token), an OIDC Bearer token, or a valid session cookie. Responses are returned as XML by default and as JSON when `Accept: application/json` is sent (or `format=json` is appended).'
