Description

While there is some documentation regarding the endpoints exposed by the API here, I think that it lacks some relevant information:

  • /status endpoint is not documented. Are there other non documented endpoints?
  • the meaning of each field in the JSON files and whether they are compulsory is not documented
  • an example call with a widespread client (like curl) would make it easier for the reader to use the API

Research direction

Start with the REST section of doc/architecture.md and inspect the API's exposed endpoints, including /status. Document each endpoint, explain every JSON field and whether it is required, and add a curl example; done means the API documentation covers the reported gaps and any other exposed endpoints found.
