# API
The application provides a REST API that can be used by 3rd party applications to manage bookmarks.
## Authentication
All requests against the API must be authorized using an authorization token. The application automatically generates an API token for each user, which can be accessed through the *Settings* page.
The token needs to be passed as `Authorization` header in the HTTP request:
```
Authorization: Token <Token>
```
## Resources
The following resources are available:
### Bookmarks
**List**
```
GET /api/bookmarks/
```
List bookmarks.

- `q` - Filters results using a search phrase using the same logic as through the UI

```json
{
"count": 123,
