+# HTTP API Server
+
+PostalPoint runs a local HTTP server to allow communication with other devices on the LAN.
+
+With the `httpserver` plugin API, plugins can add their own local API endpoints.
+
+Valid HTTP API requests are POST requests with either a JSON request body, or an entirely empty body.
+
+The default HTTP server settings are to bind to all addresses on port 7678.  There is a basic API web client accessible on `/` for manual API access, for example, at http://localhost:7678/.
+
+## Security
+
+API requests are authenticated with a "Network Connection Key".  Each installation of PostalPoint maintains a user-configurable list of keys which are allowed to connect to that installation's API server.
+
+This means that, in order for a remote client to connect to PostalPoint, it must generate a random alphanumeric ID, which must be saved in the PostalPoint settings.
+
+## Adding an API endpoint
+
+This code adds an endpoint reachable by POST to `http://[local hostname]:[port]/testendpointname`.
+
+```js
+global.apis.httpserver.addEndpoint("testendpointname", async function (request) {
+    // `request` is an object parsed from the request body.
+    if (request.abc == "123") {
+        // A non-string `body` is converted to JSON before the HTTP reply is sent.
+        return {body: {json: true, abc: 123}, httpcode: 200, contentType: "application/json"};
+    }
+    // A string `body` is sent to the client as-is using whatever contentType you specify.
+    return {body: "abc", httpcode: 200, contentType: "text/plain"};
+});
+```
+
+## Connecting to a remote endpoint
+
+By default, `sendRequestToRemote` uses the configured "Host PC", but a different hostname/IP may be specified.
+
+This code hits the endpoint added above.
+
+```js
+try {
+    const responseObject = await global.apis.httpserver.sendRequestToRemote({abc: "123"}, "testendpointname");
+    // responseObject will be {json: true, abc: 123}
+    console.log(responseObject);
+} catch (ex) {
+    global.apis.alert(ex.message, "Request Error");
+}
+```
