# API Reference

### Concepts

* Each API uses the same [authentication mechanism](authentication.html).
* Resources in requests and responses adhere to a [common structure](resources.html).
* API transactions use common [REST methods](methods.html).
* API transactions are subject to a [permission model](permission-model.html).
* [Job tasks](job-task.html) use some special API features.
