# Overview

The Minded REST API provides programmatic access to analytics events and knowledge base document management.

## Base URL

```
https://api.minded.com/api/v1
```

## Authentication

All API requests require an **organization API token** passed via the `Authorization` header:

```http
Authorization: Bearer md_yourTokenHere
```

### Token Characteristics

* **Scoped**: Permissions are granted per token
* **Org-bound**: Requests are authorized for the organization tied to the token
* **One-time visible**: The plaintext token is shown only when created and cannot be recovered

### Managing Tokens

In the Minded dashboard, navigate to **Organization Settings → API Tokens** to create, view, or revoke tokens.

### Token Scopes

| Scope                  | Grants Access To                   |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `analytics`            | [Analytics API](/api/analytics.md) |
| `knowledge-management` | [Knowledge API](/api/knowledge.md) |

## Rate Limiting

Rate limits vary by deployment (default: \~10 requests/minute). Response headers indicate current limits:

| Header                | Description                  |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| `RateLimit-Limit`     | Maximum requests allowed     |
| `RateLimit-Remaining` | Requests remaining in window |
| `RateLimit-Reset`     | Seconds until limit resets   |

## Response Format

All responses are JSON. Successful responses typically include:

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": { ... }
}
```

## Error Codes

| Code | Description                                                                 |

| 401  | Unauthorized — invalid or missing token                                     |

| 404  | Not found — resource does not exist or does not belong to your organization |
| 429  | Too many requests — rate limit exceeded                                     |
| 500  | Internal server error                                                       |

  }
}

```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
