👋  Hello, welcome to the Authory API docs. This API is currently in Beta.
:::

# Authentication

Authentication is done via an API key in the query parameters. Simply add `key=YOUR_API_KEY` to the query string of your request. The API key of your Authory account can be accessed [here](https://authory.com/app/settings/webhooks).

## Listing Content

Via this API, all collections and content items of a user can be accessed, including full text. This includes the full text, and a link to any media hosted on Authory.

It is possible to list all the content in a specific collection, which makes it possible to build integrations that only access specific content.

## Webhooks

Authory supports webhooks which are invoked when content is added to the user's profile, or when content is added to a specific collection. Webhooks can be added and deleted using the API endpoints described below.

## API Documentation

Please find a documentation of all endpoints and payloads below.
