Slipmat.io Docs

API ​

Slipmat.io has a public API that powers the site and is available for others to build on.

The API is mostly private for now

Today the API is mostly private — meaning undocumented, not off-limits. Only a small part of it is published (meaning documented) so far. The rest works, but its addresses and data can change without notice. You are free to build on the undocumented endpoints but with your own risk - things may break without any notice.

We're updating and documenting the API actively, and the published surface will keep growing over time. This page will grow with it.

Where it lives ​

The interactive documentation is built from the OpenAPI schema — a machine-readable description of the API in the OpenAPI format. Both are generated straight from the running code, so they're the source of truth: they always reflect exactly what's available right now — which parts exist, what they return, and which ones need you to be signed in. Whenever this page and the schema disagree, trust the schema.

How to use it ​

  • Everything is served over HTTPS, and every response is JSON.
  • The currently documented endpoints are mostly read-only (you fetch information; you don't change anything through them).
  • Most endpoints require authentication using an API key.

Signing in ​

When an endpoint needs authentication, you can identify yourself with a Bearer token — an API key sent in the Authorization header, for use outside the browser.

The interactive documentation marks which endpoints require this.

There's currently no way to create API keys via the API itself. Ask Uninen to create one for you.

Hacking ​

Literally everything you see on the site is produced via the API. If it can be done on the site, it has an API endpoint. Ask an AI agent to log in for you to the production site and study the traffic to reverse-engineer things, or just hop on to Backstage and as for help. This is not only allowed but encouraged. Think of Slipmat as an instrument -- its yours to tweak and experiment!

The only thing we ask for in return is that you publish your creations for others to see on Backstage.

Happy hacking!
