# API
The systems API is defined in here. The RPC maps directly to the API defined here using the [JSON RPC package](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/tree/master/lib/jsonrpc).
## Overview
By default `127.0.0.1:1234` - daemon stores the api endpoint multiaddr in `~/.lotus/api`
- `http://[api:port]/rpc/v0` - JsonRPC http endpoint
- `ws://[api:port]/rpc/v0` - JsonRPC websocket endpoint
- `PUT http://[api:port]/rest/v0/import` - import file to the node repo, it requires write permission.
For JsonRPC interface definition see [api/api.go](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/blob/master/api/api_full.go). Required permissions are
defined in [api/struct.go](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/blob/master/api/struct.go)
## Auth

- `write` - Write to local store / chain, read private data
- `sign` - Use private keys stored in wallet for signing
- `admin` - Manage permissions
