+API
+===
+
+
+Starting from RhodeCode version 1.2 a simple API was implemented.
+There's one schema for calling all api methods. API is implemented
+with JSON protocol both ways. 
+
+
+Clients need to send JSON data in such format::
+
+    {
+        "api_key":"<api_key>",
+        "method":"<method_name>",
+        "args":{"<arg_key>":"<arg_val>"}
+    }
+
+Simply provide api_key for access and permission validation
+method is name of method to call
+and args is an key:value list of arguments to pass to method
+    
+.. note::
+    
+    api_key can be found in your user account page    
+    
+    
+And will receive JSON formatted answer::
+    
+    {
+        "result": "<result>", 
+        "error": null
+    }
+
+All responses from API will be `HTTP/1.0 200 OK`, if there's an error while
+calling api **error** key from response will contain failure description 
+and result will be null.
