API

Sodium is built API-first. This isn't a bolt-on or an afterthought - the API is the foundation. Everything you can do in the application, you can do through the API.

This opens up a world of possibilities: build custom integrations, automate repetitive tasks, connect to other tools, and extend Sodium in ways we haven't even thought of yet.

Full Feature Parity

When we say "API-first," we mean it. Every feature in Sodium is accessible through the API:

If the UI can do it, the API can do it. No artificial limitations.

RESTful Design

The Sodium API follows REST conventions, making it intuitive for anyone familiar with web APIs:

  • Standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
  • Predictable URL structure
  • JSON request and response bodies
  • Meaningful HTTP status codes
  • Pagination for list endpoints

No proprietary protocols or complex authentication schemes. If you've used REST APIs before, you'll feel right at home.

Comprehensive Documentation

Every endpoint is fully documented with:

  • Request parameters and body schemas
  • Response formats and examples
  • Error codes and troubleshooting
  • Authentication requirements

The documentation is generated from the same OpenAPI specification that powers the API itself, so it's always accurate and up-to-date.

OpenAPI Specification

Download the complete OpenAPI (Swagger) specification and import it into your favourite tools:

  • Generate client libraries in any language
  • Test endpoints with Postman or Insomnia
  • Build type-safe integrations
  • Auto-generate documentation

The spec covers every endpoint, every parameter, and every response schema. Use it to build integrations faster and with fewer surprises.
