ETAPI

ETAPI is Trilium's public/external REST API. It is available since Trilium v0.50.

The documentation is in OpenAPI format, available here.

trilium-py is a third-party Python implementation for ETAPI client, you can use Python to communicate with Trilium.

Authentication

All operations have to be authenticated using a token. You can get this token either from Options -> ETAPI or programmatically using the /auth/login REST call (see the spec):

GET https://myserver.com/etapi/app-info
Authorization: ETAPITOKEN

Alternatively, since 0.56 you can also use basic auth format:

GET https://myserver.com/etapi/app-info
Authorization: Basic BATOKEN

• Where BATOKEN = BASE64(username + ':' + password) - this is a standard Basic Auth serialization
• Where username is "etapi"
• And password is the generated ETAPI token described above.

Basic Auth is meant to be used with tools which support only basic auth.
