API documentation

Several tasks of HedgeDoc can be automated through HTTP requests. The available endpoints for this api are described in this document. For code-autogeneration there is an OpenAPIv3-compatible description available here.

Notes

These endpoints create notes, return information about them or export them.
You have to replace <NOTE> with either the alias or id of a note you want to work on.

Endpoint	HTTP-Method	Description
/new	GET	**Creates a new
note.** A random id will be assigned and the content will equal to the template (blank by default). After note creation a redirect is issued to the created note.
/new	POST	**Imports some markdown data into a new
note.** A random id will be assigned and the content will equal to the body of the received HTTP-request. The Content-Type: text/markdown header should be set on this request.
/new/<ALIAS>	POST	**Imports some markdown data into a new note with a

given alias.**
This endpoint equals to the above one except that the alias from the url will be assigned to the note if FreeURL-mode is enabled. | | /<NOTE>/download or /s/<SHORT-ID>/download | GET | Returns the raw markdown content of a note. | | /<NOTE>/publish | GET | Redirects to the published version of the note. | | /<NOTE>/slide | GET | Redirects to the slide-presentation of the note.
This is only useful on notes which are designed to be slides. | | /<NOTE>/info | GET | Returns metadata about the note.
This includes the title and description of the note as well as the creation date and viewcount. The data is returned as a JSON object. | | /<NOTE>/revision | GET | Returns a list of the available note revisions.
The list is returned as a JSON object with an array of revision-id and length associations. The revision-id equals to the timestamp when the revision was saved. | | /<NOTE>/revision/<REVISION-ID> | GET | Returns the revision of the note with some metadata.
The revision is returned as a JSON object with the content of the note and the authorship. | | /<NOTE>/gist | GET | Creates a new GitHub Gist with the note's content.
If GitHub integration is configured, the user will be redirected to GitHub and a new Gist with the content of the note will be created. |
