REST API

Something that might not be obvious at first is that Grasshopper does not have a user interface. It's only way of communicating data is through the REST APIs. All the endpoints have been extensively documented, and can be reached at /docs on any URL that points to a Grasshopper instance.

User interfaces are built on top of these APIs. See https://github.com/fronteerio/grasshopper-ui for an example UI.

Sessions

The REST API authentication re-uses the session that a user established when logging in through one of the authentication strategies ("local" or Shibboleth). It's also able to authenticate using OAuth. See the OAuth page for more information.
