+API Examples
+============
+
+Example with cURL
+-----------------
+
+From the command line:
+
+```bash
+curl \
+-u "jsonrpc:19ffd9709d03ce50675c3a43d1c49c1ac207f4bc45f06c5b2701fbdf8929" \
+-d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "getAllProjects", "id": 1}' \
+http://localhost/kanboard/jsonrpc.php
+```
+
+Response from the server:
+
+```json
+{
+    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
+    "id":1,
+    "result":[
+        {
+            "id":"1",
+            "name":"API test",
+            "is_active":"1",
+            "token":"6bd0932fe7f4b5e6e4bc3c72800bfdef36a2c5de2f38f756dfb5bd632ebf",
+            "last_modified":"1403392631"
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+Example with Python
+-------------------
+
+You can use the [official Python client for Kanboard](https://github.com/kanboard/kanboard-api-python):
+
+```bash
+pip install kanboard
+```
+
+Here an example to create a project and a task:
+
+```python
+from kanboard import Kanboard
+
+kb = Kanboard("http://localhost/jsonrpc.php", "jsonrpc", "your_api_token")
+
+project_id = kb.create_project(name="My project")
+
+task_id = kb.create_task(project_id=project_id, title="My task title")
+```
+
+There are more examples on the [official website](https://github.com/kanboard/kanboard-api-python).
+
+Example with a PHP client
+-------------------------
+
+You can use this [Json-RPC Client/Server library for PHP](https://github.com/fguillot/JsonRPC), here an example:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+$client = new JsonRPC\Client('http://localhost:8000/jsonrpc.php');
+$client->authentication('jsonrpc', '19ffd9709d03ce50675c3a43d1c49c1ac207f4bc45f06c5b2701fbdf8929');
+
+print_r($client->getAllProjects());
+
+```
+
+The response:
+
+```
+Array
+(
+    [0] => Array
+        (
+            [id] => 1
+            [name] => API test
+            [is_active] => 1
+            [token] => 6bd0932fe7f4b5e6e4bc3c72800bfdef36a2c5de2f38f756dfb5bd632ebf
+            [last_modified] => 1403392631
+        )
+
+)
+```
+
+Example with Ruby
+-----------------
+
+This example can be used with Kanboard configured with Reverse-Proxy authentication and the API configured with a custom authentication header:
+
+```ruby
+require 'faraday'
+
+conn = Faraday.new(:url => 'https://kanboard.example.com') do |faraday|
+    faraday.response :logger
+    faraday.headers['X-API-Auth'] = 'XXX'      # base64_encode('jsonrpc:API_KEY')
+    faraday.basic_auth(ENV['user'], ENV['pw']) # user/pass to get through basic auth
+    faraday.adapter Faraday.default_adapter    # make requests with Net::HTTP
+end
+
+response = conn.post do |req|
+    req.url '/jsonrpc.php'
+    req.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
+    req.body = '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "getAllProjects" }'
+end
+
+puts response.body
+```
+
+
+Example with Java
+-----------------
+
+This is a basic example using Spring. For proper usage see [this link](http://spring.io/guides/gs/consuming-rest).
+
+```java
+import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
+import java.util.Base64;
+
+import org.springframework.http.HttpEntity;
+import org.springframework.http.HttpHeaders;
+import org.springframework.http.MediaType;
+import org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate;
+
+public class ProjectService {
+
+    public void getAllProjects() throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
+
+        RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
+
+        String url = "http://localhost/kanboard/jsonrpc.php";
+        String requestJson = "{\"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\", \"method\": \"getAllProjects\", \"id\": 1}";
+        String user = "jsonrpc";
+        String apiToken = "19ffd9709d03ce50675c3a43d1c49c1ac207f4bc45f06c5b2701fbdf8929";
+
+        // encode api token
+        byte[] xApiAuthTokenBytes = String.join(":", user, apiToken).getBytes("utf-8");
+        String xApiAuthToken = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(xApiAuthTokenBytes);
+
+        // consume request
+        HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
+        headers.add("X-API-Auth", xApiAuthToken);
+        headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
+        HttpEntity<String> entity = new HttpEntity<String>(requestJson, headers);
+        String answer = restTemplate.postForObject(url, entity, String.class);
+        System.out.println(answer);
+    }
+}
+```
