API

Introduction

Beginning with v3.1 HortusFox features a REST API, so you can perform operations on your workspace via third party software. In order to be able to use the API feature, you need to enable it in your admin dashboard as well as generate an API key to be able to access this feature.

You can then use the generated API key from your third party software to perform API queries. You can also deactivate an API key or entirely remove it. You can generate as many API keys as you want.

IMPORTANT: Although not explicitly specified in the below endpoints, you must provide a parameter token for each API call providing your API token:

?token=(your API token)
