List the newest changes from the changelog on the docs site
Section titled List the newest changes from the changelog on the docs siteGET /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.

List the guides for a page of the dashboard
Section titled List the guides for a page of the dashboardGET /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.
Parameters
Section titled Parameters| 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. |

Search the guides on the docs site
Section titled Search the guides on the docs siteGET /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.
Parameters
Section titled Parameters| 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. |
