Endpoints

The API basically can be accessed through two methods: Either from the user interface of an OpenAtlas application or, if the settings will allow it, from another application.

Please also refer to the SwaggerHub documentation: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/ctot-nondef/OpenAtlas/0.2

By default results are orderd alphabetically and 20 entities are shown.

/api/code/{view_name} 0.2 / 0.3
