+# API docs
+The docs for the Pelican API can be found by going to ```/docs/api``` on your panel address.
+
+
+ You will need to sign in **before** accessing the docs on the login page
+
+
+For example:
+```bash
+https://yourpaneladdress.com/docs/api
+```
+
+You can also visit the docs on the demo instance [here](https://demo.pelican.dev/docs/api).
+
+There are two types of API you can interact with. The first is the Application API. The application API is used more for adjusting the server configuration.
+The second is the client API. This API is more for interacting with the features that users normally interact with.
