List the newest changes from the changelog on the docs site

Section titled List the newest changes from the changelog on the docs site

GET /api/v1/help/changelog

List the newest changes from the changelog on the docs site. No sign-in needed.

The changelog has a page for each month. Under each date, every change has a title and a paragraph that describes it. The answer lists those changes newest first, up to limit. Each has its date as YYYY-MM-DD, its title, its paragraph as plain text in summary, and its url: the change in the changelog on the docs site, which links the guide that covers it.

docs_url is the docs site's home page and changelog_url is the changelog's first page. The changes and their addresses are those of the storefront the request came through; on a storefront with no docs site, both are null and the list is empty.

Refuses with 422 when limit is below 1 or above 100.

Name In Type Required Description
limit query integer no The most changes to list, from 1 to 100. The answer lists 20 when it is left out. Default: 20.
Status Meaning
200 Success.
422 The request is not valid. detail lists each problem.

List the guides for a page of the dashboard

Section titled List the guides for a page of the dashboard

GET /api/v1/help/pages

List the guides for a page of the dashboard. No sign-in needed.

Send the path of the page the customer is on as route. The answer lists up to eight guides from the docs site, most specific first: the guides written for that page, then the guides for the pages above it. For a folder open in a server's file manager, that is the guides for the Files tab, then those for the servers list, then those for the dashboard.

On a resource's Overview, a path such as /dashboard/websites/example.com/overview, the tutorials that name the resource's list or a page under it come first, then the other guides in that order. A tutorial takes a customer from a new resource to a working result.

Each guide has its title, a one-sentence description, its url on the docs site, its type and the section of the docs it is in. docs_url is the docs site's home page. The guides and their addresses are those of the storefront the request came through; on a storefront with no docs site, docs_url is null and the list is empty.

Refuses with 422 when route is missing, does not start with /, or is longer than 512 characters.

Name In Type Required Description
route query string yes The path of the dashboard page the customer is on, such as /dashboard/servers/1f2e3d4c/files. A query string is ignored.
Status Meaning
200 Success.
422 The request is not valid. detail lists each problem.

docs_url string or null The docs site's home page. Null when this storefront has no docs site.
pages array of HelpPage Up to eight guides, most specific first. On a resource's Overview, the tutorials for its area come first.

pages[].type string The kind of guide: overview, concept, how-to, tutorial, reference or troubleshooting.
pages[].section string The section of the docs the guide is in, as the docs site names it, such as Container Apps.
Section titled Search the guides on the docs site

GET /api/v1/help/search

Search the guides on the docs site. No sign-in needed.

Answers with up to eight guides for the words in q, best match first, each in the same shape as GET /api/v1/help/pages gives. A guide matches when every word appears in it, and the last word also matches the start of a longer word, so the results can follow the customer's typing. A match in a title counts most. An empty q answers an empty list.

The API reference is not searched here: search_url opens the same search on the docs site, which includes it. The guides are those of the storefront the request came through.

Refuses with 422 when q is longer than 200 characters.

Name In Type Required Description
q query string no The words to search for. The last word also matches the start of a longer word.
Status Meaning
200 Success.
