 API
 ===
 
 
 Starting from RhodeCode version 1.2 a simple API was implemented.
 There's a single schema for calling all api methods. API is implemented
 with JSON protocol both ways. An url to send API request in RhodeCode is
 <your_server>/_admin/api
 
 
 All clients are required to send JSON-RPC spec JSON data::
 
     {
         "api_key":"<api_key>",
         "method":"<method_name>",
         "args":{"<arg_key>":"<arg_val>"}
     }
 
 Example call for autopulling remotes repos using curl::
     curl https://server.com/_admin/api -X POST -H 'content-type:text/plain' --data-binary '{"api_key":"xe7cdb2v278e4evbdf5vs04v832v0efvcbcve4a3","method":"pull","args":{"repo":"CPython"}}'
 
 Simply provide
  - *api_key* for access and permission validation.
  - *method* is name of method to call
  - *args* is an key:value list of arguments to pass to method
 
 .. note::
 
     api_key can be found in your user account page
 
 
 RhodeCode API will return always a JSON-RPC response::
 
     {
         "result": "<result>",
         "error": null
     }
 
 All responses from API will be `HTTP/1.0 200 OK`, if there's an error while
 calling api *error* key from response will contain failure description
 and result will be null.
