# WebGME API
WebGME API provides access to various resources such as _users_, _organizations_, and _projects_.

All paths are relative to version 1 api `/api/v1` or the latest api `/api`.

Throughout this document we will use `http://localhost:8888/` as the base url. E.g. the api root is `http://localhost:8888/api`.

## Authentication
*WebGME API* uses Basic Authentication. __Note: in the future we will switch to OAuth tokens that could be acquired by Basic Authentication__

## Media Types
Where applicable this API uses JSON documents, responses have `X-WebGME-Media-Type` header.

Requests with a message-body are using JSON to create or update resources.

## Error States
The common [HTTP Response Status Codes](https://github.com/for-GET/know-your-http-well/blob/master/status-codes.md) are used.

# WebGME API Root [/]
