| # Routes and Methods
 | |
| 
 | |
| GoToSocial uses [go-swagger](https://github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger) to generate a V2 [OpenAPI specification](https://swagger.io/specification/v2/) document from code annotations.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The resulting API documentation is rendered below. Please note that the doc is intended for reference only. You will not be able to use the built-in Authorize functionality in the below widget to actually connect to an instance or make API calls. Instead, you should use something like curl, Postman, or similar.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Most of the GoToSocial API endpoints require a user-level OAuth token. For a guide on how to authenticate with the API using an OAuth token, see the [authentication doc](./authentication.md).
 | |
| 
 | |
| !!! tip
 | |
|     If you'd like to do more with the spec, you can also view the [swagger.yaml](./swagger.yaml) directly, and then paste it into something like the [Swagger Editor](https://editor.swagger.io/). That way you can try autogenerating GoToSocial API clients in different languages (not supported, but fun), or convert the doc to JSON or OpenAPI v3 specification, etc. See [here](https://swagger.io/tools/open-source/getting-started/) for more.

| 
 | |
| !!! info "Gotcha: uploading files"
 | |
|     When using an API endpoint that involves submitting a form to upload files (eg., the media attachments endpoints, or the emoji upload endpoint, etc), please note that `filename` is a required on the form field, due to the dependency that GoToSocial uses to parse forms, and some quirks in Go.
