API Scopes

As part of our platform's structured evolution, we have categorized our application programming interfaces (APIs) into three distinct classifications. Our initial framework was anchored by the Legacy API - a comprehensive set serving both user and administrative roles. Recognizing the need for specialized and distinct service offerings, we introduced the User and Admin APIs. The User API is crafted to encompass all functions necessary for basic users to successfully capture themselves. Conversely, the Admin API incorporates functionalities from the User and Adjudicator APIs and additionally integrates features specifically designed for comprehensive service administration. The following table offers a clear overview of these API classifications and their respective roles:

API	Scope	Description
User	User	Encompasses all functions necessary for basic users to interact with the system.
Adjudicator	Adjudicator	Encompasses all functions necessary for the adjudication workflow
Admin	User + Adjudicator + Admin	Combines all User and Adjudicator API endpoints, plus additional endpoints for service administration.
Legacy	User + Adjudicator + Admin	Includes all endpoints. Deprecated in 13.3, removal scheduled for 2026.1.
