hledger-api(1) hledger-api 1.4.99
*********************************

hledger-api is a simple web API server, intended to support client-side
web apps operating on hledger data.  It comes with a series of simple
client-side app examples, which drive its evolution.

   Like hledger, it reads data from one or more files in hledger
journal, timeclock, timedot, or CSV format specified with '-f', or
'$LEDGER_FILE', or '$HOME/.hledger.journal' (on windows, perhaps
'C:/Users/USER/.hledger.journal').  For more about this see hledger(1),
hledger_journal(5) etc.

   The server listens on IP address 127.0.0.1, accessible only to local
requests, by default.  You can change this with '--host', eg '--host
0.0.0.0' to listen on all addresses.  Note there is no other access
control, so you will need to hide hledger-api behind an authenticating
proxy if you want to restrict access.  You can change the TCP port
(default: 8001) with '-p PORT'.

   If invoked as 'hledger-api --swagger', instead of starting a server
the API docs will be printed in Swagger 2.0 format.
