Welcome to Knowii, the place for your Knowledge, Ideas and Innovation
Knowii is open source. We are always looking for new contributors. Check out the contributing document to know how.
In addition to the user interface, Knowii has an API, available at /api/v1.
There are two ways to use it:
- Using API tokens (recommended)
- Using cookies
To use the API using cookies, you first need to call the login endpoint at /api/v1/login, passing the email and password fields in the body of the request. Once submitted, your API client will receive a cookie in return. Your next API calls will be authenticated if you include the cookie.
To use the API using tokens, you need to generate an API token, either through the Web interface, or by calling the /api/v1/login endpoint, adding includeToken: true to the body of your request. If you do that, then you'll get a token back in the data.token field of the response. Tokens generating using the login endpoint are valid for 12 hours. Those generated through the Web interface may be valid for much longer.
Once you have a token, you can call other API endpoints and add the Authorization header with Bearer <your token> as the value.
