# Accessing RapidIdentity APIs

## Swagger API Documentation

RapidIdentity Connect and other programs will occasionally need to access direct API points for RapidIdentity. Accessing these is fairly simple.

1. Open a browser tab and navigate to **https://<RapidIdentity Host name or IP Address>/api/rest/api-docs**.

2. You can search for the specific API you are looking for in the **Filter by tag** field. Once you find it, click the title to expand and see the different commands that can be used with that API RESTpoint. ![Api Search and Expand.jpg](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/Api%20Search%20and%20Expand.jpg)
