@title Conduit API Overview
@group conduit
Overview of the Conduit API.
Overview
========
Conduit is the HTTP API for Phabricator. It is roughly JSON-RPC: you usually
pass a JSON blob, and usually get a JSON blob back, although both call and
result formats are flexible in some cases.
API Clients
===========
The primary ways to make Conduit calls are:
**Web Console**: The {nav Conduit} application provides a web UI for exploring
the API and making calls. This is the best starting point for learning about
the API. See the next section for details.
`ConduitClient`: This is the official client available in `libphutil`, and
the one used by `arc`.
`arc call-conduit`: You can use this `arc` command to execute low-level
Conduit calls by piping JSON in to stdin. This can provide a simple way
to explore the API, or a quick way to get API access from a script written
in another language without needing a real client.
`curl`: You can format a call with basic HTTP parameters and cURL. The console
includes examples which show how to format calls.
**Other Clients**: There are also clients available in other languages. You
can check the [[ https://secure.phabricator.com/w/community_resources/ |
Community Resources ]] page for links.
API Console
===========
The easiest way to begin exploring Conduit is by visiting {nav Conduit} in the
web UI. The application provides an API console which you can use to explore
available methods, make calls, read documentation, and see examples.
The API console has details about how to construct calls and generate API
tokens for authentication.
