# Okteto API Documentation

The Okteto API `BETA` is defined using OpenAPI, providing access to resources managed by Okteto. Combined with the Okteto CLI or other tools, it allows you to automate workflows, such as deleting unused development volumes within a Namespace or redeploying applications.

note

🚧 This API is currently in beta

* Endpoints, request/response formats, and authentication mechanisms are subject to change as we refine the API
* Backward-incompatible changes may occur before the API reaches general availability (GA)

For feedback or issues, contact us at <support@okteto.com>.

## Getting Started

The Okteto API `BETA` is accessible with an [Admin Access Token](/docs/admin/dashboard.md#admin-access-tokens)

To access the full Swagger API documentation, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to **Admin → Admin Access Tokens** in the Okteto Dashboard
2. Click on the link to the **public API reference**

The Swagger documentation provides details on all available endpoints, request formats, and response structures. You can even run live tests to example responses for your query.

## Overview

The Okteto API allows you to programmatically manage resources such as Namespaces, applications, and other platform-level configurations. In conjunction with the CLI, it can be used to automate tasks like:

* [Querying Namespace and application statuses](https://github.com/okteto-community/namespaces-report-csv)
* [Redeploying applications to keep them up to date](https://github.com/okteto-community/redeploy-applications)
* [Sleep Namespaces based on your own custom settings](https://github.com/okteto-community/sleep-namespaces)
* A full list of our examples can be found on [GitHub here](https://github.com/topics/okteto-api)
