Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checked community attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps Generate an API key from the eLabFTW user control panel Settings page Send the key in the Authorization header on every request against your self-hosted instance GET /api/v2/experiments or /api/v2/experiments/{id} to read experiment entries, and /api/v2/items or /api/v2/items/{id} for inventory items POST to /api/v2/experiments to create a new experiment; the API responds 201 Created with the new resource's URL in the Location header PATCH the created resource with a JSON body to update its content Use the generated OpenAPI reference at doc.elabftw.net or the official elabapi-python client library for full endpoint coverage Known gotchas API key grants the same permissions as its owning user account — treat it like a password HTTP verbs are strict (GET read-only, POST create, PATCH update, DELETE remove); wrong verb usage fails rather than being coerced Self-hosted instances use their own hostname for the API — there is no shared multi-tenant endpoint
