### How to use this WebSocket API document
You can either use it to:
- **Interactively browse the WebSocket API.** Browse the *Channels*, check out the responses and examples (tailor the *PUBLISH* requests to suit with your favorite WebSocket API client). For testing purposes, either [set up your own server](https://lemmy.ml/docs/en/administration/administration.html) or use the Enterprise server (*ws://enterprise.lemmy.ml/api/v2/ws*)
- **Interactively browse the WebSocket API.** Browse the *Channels*, check out the responses and examples (tailor the *PUBLISH* requests to suit with your favorite WebSocket client - such as [websocat](https://github.com/vi/websocat)).
For testing purposes, either [set up your own server](https://join.lemmy.ml/docs/en/administration/administration.html) or use the Enterprise server (*ws://enterprise.lemmy.ml/api/v2/ws*)
- **[Open and save](asyncapi.yaml) this specification file** and use it with the various [AsyncAPI tools](https://www.asyncapi.com/docs/community/tooling) (perhaps to generate code or documentation).
#### Structure of this document
- **Channels** - Documents the requests (marked with the PUBLISH button) and responses (marked with SUBSCRIBE) for each endpoint (*channel*)
- **Servers** - Lists some publicly-accessible test servers
- **Messages** - A summary of the requests and responses (a duplication of the information in **=Channels*)
- **Schemas** - An alphabetical list of the most commonly accessed data structures in the API.
### The HTTP API
Lemmy also has an HTTP API. The WebSocket and HTTP API are almost identical:
Lemmy also has an HTTP API which is almost identical to the WebSocket API:
- WebSocket API needs `let send = { op: userOperation[op], data: form}` as shown below
- HTTP API requires the form at the top level and an HTTP operation (GET, PUT or POST) and endpoint. For example: `PUT /comment`. For more information, see [http.ts](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client/blob/main/src/http.ts)
license:
- HTTP API requires the form (data) at the top level and an HTTP operation (GET, PUT or POST) and endpoint.
For example: `POST {username_or_email: X, password: X}`. Endpoints are at `http(s)://host/api/v2/endpoint`. *All request and response strings are in [JSON format](https://www.json.org/json-en.html).*
For more information, see the [http.ts](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client/blob/main/src/http.ts) file.
#### Example (TypeScript)
```ts
async editComment(form: EditComment): Promise<CommentResponse> {
return this.wrapper(HttpType.Put, '/comment', form);
}
```
| Type | URL | Body type | Return type |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `PUT` | `/comment` | `EditComment` | `CommentResponse` |
#### Examples (Curl)
**GET example**
```
curl "http://localhost:8536/api/v2/community/list?sort=Hot"`
```
**POST example**
```
curl -i -H \
"Content-Type: application/json" \
-X POST \
