Question: Is there a Public REST API for AppFlowy?

[BrandonDR]

Hello I am looking to see if I can use the API endpoints from my internal tool to create and link to tickets in AppFlowy.

Is there any documentation on the API authentication and could someone point me at the implementation of the API endpoints or any documentation relevant.

My use case is to create tickets and link them from my tool. Allowing our support team to use AppFlowy in a flexible way as a CRM. Notion offers a public API, it would be the one thing missing for us to use AppFlowy.
I would want some basic CRUD endpoints for the database / table / kanboard features.

I am happy to open a feature request for "Public REST API" if it is not possible with the current endpoints?
Sorry if this is a repeated question. I didn't see any documentation on the API.

@BrandonDR
At the moment there is no official REST API, but there a lot server and client interaction are using REST API, see: libs/client-api. However do keep in mind that request/response in some of the endpoints may not be that friendly to work with, as they may require encoded data that uses Y-CRDT encoding (e.g. https://github.com/y-crdt/y-crdt).

Rest API is the last feature i'm waiting for, to migrate to AppFlowy from Notion (with their Integration system)

@rayanbzd If you have specific functionality that you would want using REST API, you may list it here, we can consider it

not offering a way to connect my n8n automations to appflowy unfortunately makes it unuseable for me. this needs to happen! the usecase is to be able to build a single place to centralize all your most important data and display it like you need it displayed to work efficiently. without any programmatic/api way to dynamically update stuff in appflowy, it's (atleast for me) completely dead in the water.

Same here. Without a native feature rich API there is no way I can switch from Notion to AppFlowy. Hoping for the best.

We will start documenting some of the APIs here: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy-Docs/tree/main/documentation/appflowy-cloud/openapi

There are also a few unofficial examples at:

Admittedly, there is still a lot needed to be done to improve the API documentation, but this is a start.
