# Onionr HTTP API
# About HTTP API
All HTTP interfaces in the Onionr reference client use the [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/) web framework with the [gevent](http://www.gevent.org/) WSGI server.
## Client & Public difference
The client API server is a locked down interface intended for authenticated local communication.
The public API server is available only remotely from Tor & I2P. It is the interface in which peers use to communicate with one another.
# Client API
Please note: endpoints that simply provide static web app files are not documented here.
(Client API docs coming soon)
