Documentation

The API endpoints are documented here. The documentation is generated with API Doc.

Known issues

Sometimes the requests to the API return with errors due to CSRF verification failure. That's because Polr has disabled CSRF verification only for its own API endpoints.

This API endpoints then need to be also added in the app/Http/Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken.php file.

    public function handle($request, \Closure $next) {
        if ($request->is('api/v/action/') ||
            $request->is('api/v/data/') ||
            $request->is('api/v/links/') ||
            $request->is('api/v/users/') ||
            $request->is('api/v/stats/')) {
            // Exclude public API from CSRF protection
            // but do not exclude private API endpoints
            return $next($request);
        }

        return parent::handle($request, $next);
    }
