# Password Manager API

{% endhint %}

Bitwarden 目前提供两种具有不同功能和用例的 API：

## 公共 API <a href="#public-api" id="public-api"></a>

Bitwarden 公共 API 为组织提供了一套用于管理成员、集合、群组、事件日志和策略的工具。

公共 API 是一个 RESTful API，具有可预测的面向资源的 URL，接受 JSON 编码的请求正文，返回 JSON 编码的响应，并使用标准的 HTTP 响应代码、身份验证和动词。

了解有关 [Bitwarden 公共 API](/docs/admin-console/bitwarden-public-api.md) 的更多信息或查看 [API 规范](https://bitwarden.com/help/api/)文档。

## 密码库管理 API <a href="#vault-management-api" id="vault-management-api"></a>

密码库管理 API 为 Bitwarden 用户提供了一套用于管理密码库项目的工具，包括那些由组织拥有的项目，前提是您必须拥有相应的权限。

密码库管理 API 以 RESTful API 调用的形式执行 Bitwarden CLI 可以执行的大多数操作。使用密码库管理 API 需要使用 CLI 中的 `serve` 命令来启动本地 Express 网络服务器，以便从该服务器发出请求。

{% hint style="info" %}
密码库管理 API 接受 JSON 请求体并返回 JSON 响应，包括标准 HTTP 响应代码。
{% endhint %}

了解有关 [serve 命令](/docs/password-manager/developer-tools/cli/password-manager-cli.md#serve)的更多信息或查看 [API 规范](https://bitwarden.com/help/vault-management-api/)文档。

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.ppgg.in/docs/password-manager/developer-tools/api/password-manager-apis.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
