API Overview
Bitgit provides two main APIs for integration with your development workflow:
- WebSocket API - For real-time collaboration and events
- REST API - For managing teams, repositories, and configuration
Both APIs require authentication and provide secure access to your team's collaboration data.
WebSocket API
Real-time collaboration and events
Connect to the WebSocket API to receive real-time updates about team activity, conflicts, and changes.
View WebSocket API docs →REST API
Team and repository management
Use the REST API to manage teams, repositories, user permissions, and configuration settings.
View REST API docs →Authentication
All API requests require authentication using API keys or OAuth tokens.
Use your API key in the Authorization header:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
https://api.bitgit.dev/v1/teamsBase URL
All API requests should be made to:
https://api.bitgit.dev/v1Rate Limits
API requests are rate limited to ensure fair usage:
- Free tier: 1,000 requests per hour
- Pro tier: 10,000 requests per hour
- Enterprise tier: 100,000 requests per hour
Rate limit headers are included in all responses:
X-RateLimit-Limit: 1000
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 999
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1640995200API Versioning
The current API version is v1. We maintain backward compatibility and will announce any breaking changes with at least 30 days notice.
