# Testing the API
This scripts can be used to test almost all endpoints of the
paperless-ngx API.
In order to use them, create a file `credentials` and define `AUTH` and
`URL` in it. `URL` is the base url of the restapi service. `AUTH` are the
credentials passed in the http header `Authorization`. It can be a basic
authentication, a paperless token or a regular SeedDMS key.
Example:
URL="http://my.seeddms.org/restapi/index.php"
AUTH="my api key"
AUTH="my seeddms api key"
#AUTH="Token <paperless token>"
#AUTH="Basic <credentials>"
