README

Local REST API for Obsidian

See our interactive docs: https://coddingtonbear.github.io/obsidian-local-rest-api/

Have you ever needed to automate interacting with your notes? This plugin gives Obsidian a REST API you can interact with your notes from other tools so you can automate what you need to automate.

This plugin provides a secure HTTPS interface gated behind api key authentication that allows you to:

  • Read, create, update or delete existing notes. There's even a PATCH HTTP method for inserting content into a particular section of a note.
  • List notes stored in your vault.
  • Create and fetch periodic notes.
  • Execute commands and list what commands are available.
  • Full Canvas support - Read and modify Canvas files (nodes and edges).
  • Periodic notes configuration - Get periodic notes settings and recent notes.

This is particularly useful if you need to interact with Obsidian from a browser extension like Obsidian Web.
