13. Application Programming Interface (API)

13.1. What is the API?

The API (Application Programming Interface) allows the majority of actions performed in the user interface (UI) to be performed on the command line. This requires some level of comfort with working on the command line, but can be a powerful way of performing multiple repetitive tasks quickly instead of tedious manual operations in Mosaic.

13.2. How do I access the API?
