API

What’s that?

It’s a way to read or write data to eLabFTW from an external program (like a Python script).

For instance, instead of using a web browser to access the web interface and create an experiment, you make a call to the API saying “hey, create an experiment for me”, and the api will reply with the ID of the newly created experiment.
