Json-RPC API
============
User and application API
------------------------
There are two types of API access:
### Application API
- Access to the API with the user "jsonrpc" and the token available in settings
- Access to all procedures
- No permission checked
- There is no user session on the server
- Example of possible clients: tools to migrate/import data, create tasks from another system, etc...
### User API
- Access to the API with the user credentials (username and password)
- Access to a restricted set of procedures
- The project permissions are checked
- A user session is created on the server
- Example of possible clients: mobile/desktop application, command line utility, etc...
Security
--------
- Always use HTTPS with a valid certificate
- If you make a mobile application, it's your job to store securely the user credentials on the device
- After 3 authentication failure on the user api, the end-user have to unlock his account by using the login form
- Two factor authentication is not yet available through the API
Protocol
--------
Kanboard use the protocol Json-RPC to interact with external programs.
JSON-RPC is a remote procedure call protocol encoded in JSON.
Almost the same thing as XML-RPC but with the JSON format.
We use the [version 2 of the protocol](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification).
You must call the API with a `POST` HTTP request.
Kanboard support batch requests, so you can make multiple API calls in a single HTTP request. It's particularly useful for mobile clients with higher network latency.
