# Use Docs as a Resource Server
Docs implements resource server, so it means it can be used from an external app to perform some operation using the dedicated API.
> **Note:** This feature might be subject to future evolutions. The API endpoints, configuration options, and behavior may change in future versions.
## Prerequisites
In order to activate the resource server on Docs you need to setup the following environment variables
```python
OIDC_RESOURCE_SERVER_ENABLED=True
OIDC_OP_URL=
OIDC_OP_INTROSPECTION_ENDPOINT=
OIDC_RS_CLIENT_ID=
OIDC_RS_CLIENT_SECRET=
OIDC_RS_AUDIENCE_CLAIM=
OIDC_RS_ALLOWED_AUDIENCES=
```
It implements the resource server using `django-lasuite`, see the [documentation](https://github.com/suitenumerique/django-lasuite/blob/main/documentation/how-to-use-oidc-resource-server-backend.md)
## Customise allowed routes
Configure the `EXTERNAL_API` setting to control which routes and actions are available in the external API. Set it via the `EXTERNAL_API` environment variable (as JSON) or in Django settings.
Default configuration:
```python
EXTERNAL_API = {
"documents": {
"enabled": True,
"actions": ["list", "retrieve", "create", "children"],
},
"document_access": {
"enabled": False,
"actions": [],
},
"document_invitation": {
"enabled": False,
"actions": [],
},
"users": {
"enabled": True,
"actions": ["get_me"],
},
}
```
**Endpoints:**
- `documents`: Controls `/external_api/v1.0/documents/`. Available actions: `list`, `retrieve`, `create`, `update`, `destroy`, `trashbin`, `children`, `restore`, `move`,`versions_list`, `versions_detail`, `favorite_detail`,`link_configuration`, `attachment_upload`, `media_auth`, `ai_transform`, `ai_translate`, `ai_proxy`. Always allowed actions: `favorite_list`, `duplicate`.
- `document_access`: `/external_api/v1.0/documents/{id}/accesses/`. Available actions: `list`, `retrieve`, `create`, `update`, `partial_update`, `destroy`
- `document_invitation`: Controls `/external_api/v1.0/documents/{id}/invitations/`. Available actions: `list`, `retrieve`, `create`, `partial_update`, `destroy`
- `users`: Controls `/external_api/v1.0/documents/`. Available actions: `get_me`.
Each endpoint has `enabled` (boolean) and `actions` (list of allowed actions). Only actions explicitly listed are accessible.
## Request Docs
In order to request Docs from an external resource provider, you need to implement the basic setup of `django-lasuite` [Using the OIDC Authentication Backend to request a resource server](https://github.com/suitenumerique/django-lasuite/blob/main/documentation/how-to-use-oidc-call-to-resource-server.md)
Then you can requests some routes that are available at `/external_api/v1.0/*`, here are some examples of what you can do.
### Create a document
Here is an example of a view that creates a document from a markdown file at the root level in Docs.
```python
@method_decorator(refresh_oidc_access_token)
def create_document_from_markdown(self, request):
"""
Create a new document from a Markdown file at root level.
"""
# Get the access token from the session
access_token = request.session.get('oidc_access_token')
# Create a new document from a file
file_content = b"# Test Document\n\nThis is a test."
file = BytesIO(file_content)
file.name = "readme.md"
response = requests.post(
f"{settings.DOCS_API}/documents/",
{
"file": file,
},
format="multipart",
)
response.raise_for_status()
data = response.json()
return {"id": data["id"]}
```
### Get user information
The same way, you can use the /me endpoint to get user information.
```python
response = requests.get(
"{settings.DOCS_API}/users/me/",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
)
```
