## Introduction
## Background
This API is documented in **OpenAPI format**.
The API supports two sets of endpoints, one targetted at library staff and the other at at library users.
Those endpoints under the `/public` path are aimed at delivering functionality tailored to library users and offer
a more restricted set of functions, overrides and data in thier responses for data privacy and library policy
reasons. Many of these endpoints do not require authentication for fetching public data, though an authenticated
session will expose additional options and allow users to see more data where it is part of their own record.
All other endpoints are targetted at the staff interface level and allow for additional functionality and a more
unrestricted view of data. These endpoints, however, have a level of redaction built in for resources that the
api consumer should not have access to. For example, user data for users who do not belong to the same library
or library group of your api user will be reduced to just minimum neccesary for a valid response. Object keys will
be consistent for all responses, but their values may be removed depending on access.
## Authentication
@ -782,6 +793,14 @@ info:
Both _Basic authentication_ and the _OAuth2_ flow, need to be enabled
by system preferences.
## Authorization
The API uses existing user profiles to restrict access to resources based on user permissions and the library the
API user is assigned to. This may result, at times, in resources being returned in a redacted form with all keys
present but sensative values nulled.
We do not yet support OAuth Scopes or the Authorization Code grant flow.
## Errors
The API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure
