# Osmedeus API Documentation

## Overview

The Osmedeus API provides a RESTful interface for managing security automation workflows, runs, and distributed task execution.

**Base URL:** `http://localhost:8002`

**Default Port:** `8002`

## Authentication

Most API endpoints require authentication. Two methods are supported:

1. **JWT Token**: Obtain a token via the login endpoint, then include it in requests using the `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header.

2. **API Key**: Use a static API key via the `x-osm-api-key` header. Configure in `~/osmedeus-base/osm-settings.yaml` under `server.auth_api_key`.

See [Authentication](authentication.mdx) for details.
