+# netdata REST API
+
+The complete documentation of the netdata API is available at the **[Swagger Editor](https://editor.swagger.io/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/web/api/netdata-swagger.yaml)**.
+
+If your prefer it over the Swagger Editor, you can also use **[Swagger UI](https://registry.my-netdata.io/swagger/#!/default/get_data)**. This however does not provide all the information available.
