# Anytype Integration

You have access to a self-hosted Anytype instance via its JSON API.

## Connection Details

- **Base URL**: `http://192.168.1.150:31009`
- **Auth Header**: `Authorization: Bearer VVP91vUjVAPF4xcnDZF2p61kgxu+4M04n3CGj/mngtk=`
- **Version Header**: `Anytype-Version: 2025-05-20`

Every request MUST include both headers. Use curl for all API calls.

## Common curl template
```bash
curl -s -X METHOD "http://192.168.1.150:31009/v1/ENDPOINT" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer VVP91vUjVAPF4xcnDZF2p61kgxu+4M04n3CGj/mngtk=" \
  -H "Anytype-Version: 2025-05-20" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"key":"value"}'
```

## Available Endpoints

### Spaces

- **List spaces**: `GET /v1/spaces`
- **Get space**: `GET /v1/spaces/{space_id}`
- **Get space members**: `GET /v1/spaces/{space_id}/members`

### Search

- **Global search**: `POST /v1/search` with body `{"query": "search term"}`
- **Search in space**: `POST /v1/spaces/{space_id}/search` with body `{"query": "search term"}`

### Objects

- **List objects in space**: `GET /v1/spaces/{space_id}/objects`
- **Get object**: `GET /v1/spaces/{space_id}/objects/{object_id}`
- **Create object**: `POST /v1/spaces/{space_id}/objects` with body:
```json
  {
    "name": "Object title",
    "icon": "📝",
    "body": "Content in markdown format",
    "type_key": "ot-page",
    "description": "Optional description"
  }
```
- **Update object**: `PATCH /v1/spaces/{space_id}/objects/{object_id}`
- **Delete object**: `DELETE /v1/spaces/{space_id}/objects/{object_id}`

### Types

- **List types in space**: `GET /v1/spaces/{space_id}/types`
- **Get type**: `GET /v1/spaces/{space_id}/types/{type_id}`

### Lists / Collections

- **List lists**: `GET /v1/spaces/{space_id}/lists`
- **Get list content**: `GET /v1/spaces/{space_id}/lists/{list_id}`
- **Add object to list**: `POST /v1/spaces/{space_id}/lists/{list_id}/objects` with body `{"object_id": "..."}`

### Properties / Relations

- **List properties**: `GET /v1/spaces/{space_id}/properties`

### Templates

- **List templates for type**: `GET /v1/spaces/{space_id}/types/{type_id}/templates`

## Workflow

1. **Always start by listing spaces** to get the space_id
2. Then use the space_id in subsequent calls
3. For creating objects, first list types to find the correct type_key
4. Present results in a clean, readable format to the user
5. When searching, use global search first, then refine by space if needed

## Error Handling

- 401: Token invalid or expired
- 404: Object/space not found
- 400: Bad request (check JSON body format)
- If an endpoint returns an error, show the full response to help debug

## Important Notes

- The API is RESTful with JSON responses
- All dates are in ISO 8601 format
- Object content (body) uses Markdown
- The type_key for common types: ot-page (Page), ot-task (Task), ot-note (Note), ot-bookmark (Bookmark)
- Always use `-s` flag with curl to suppress progress bars
- Pipe through `python3 -m json.tool` or `jq` for readable output when showing to user
