# API Reference

The LangGraph Platform API reference is available with each deployment at the `/docs` URL path (e.g. `http://localhost:8124/docs`).

## Authentication

For deployments to LangGraph Platform, authentication is required. Pass the `X-Api-Key` header with each request to the LangGraph Platform API. The value of the header should be set to a valid LangSmith API key for the organization where the API is deployed.

Example `curl` command:
```shell
curl --request POST \
  --url http://localhost:8124/assistants/search \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'X-Api-Key: LANGSMITH_API_KEY' \
  --data '{
  "metadata": {},
  "limit": 10,
  "offset": 0
}'  
```
