## Location

The API can only be accessed via HTTPS in the cloud instance.

You can reach the API for the cloud instance at

```
https://cc.noarch.de/api/
```

Local installations can access the API using the respective domain with the path `/api/` appended.

So if your server is reachable at `https://cc.myserver.lan` the API endpoint is located at

```
# Note: `/api/` is appended to the locale installation server url

https://cc.myserver.lan/api/
```

## Authentication

Requests to most of the API endpoints have to be authenticated using an API token which is received after successfully providing your application credentials to the API.

Once acquired the token has to be provided in the ``X-Access-Token`` header of every request that requires authentication.

The following example illustrates how to provide the token when using `curl`


```
# via Authorization header

> curl -H "X-Access-Token: $CC_API_TOKEN" <API_RESOURCE_PATH_GOES_HERE>
```

## Permission Levels

The permission level is resolved by the API token you send, which resolves the specific app user information.

Endpoints that require a certain permission level to be accessed, mention the **minimum** required permission level in the description.

::: note
Permission Levels:

  0 - User

  1 - Squadlead

  2 - High Command

  3 - Maintainer

  4 - Administrator
