# API

The application provides a REST API that can be used by 3rd party applications to manage bookmarks.

## Authentication

All requests against the API must be authorized using an authorization token. The application automatically generates an API token for each user, which can be accessed through the *Settings* page.

The token needs to be passed as `Authorization` header in the HTTP request:

```
Authorization: Token <Token>
```
