The REST API
 | 
						|
############
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Paperless makes use of the `Django REST Framework`_ standard API interface
 | 
						|
because of its inherent awesomeness.  Conveniently, the system is also
 | 
						|
self-documenting, so to learn more about the access points, schema, what's
 | 
						|
accepted and what isn't, you need only visit ``/api`` on your local Paperless
 | 
						|
installation.

Uploading
 | 
						|
---------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
File uploads in an API are hard and so far as I've been able to tell, there's
 | 
						|
no standard way of accepting them, so rather than crowbar file uploads into the
 | 
						|
REST API and endure that headache, I've left that process to a simple HTTP
 | 
						|
POST, documented on the :ref:`consumption page <consumption-http>`.
