Chapter 1: API Basics and Authentication

Learn to interact with MIFY programmatically through the REST API.

What You’ll Learn

• How the MIFY API is structured
• How to authenticate with API keys
• How to create and run workflows via API

API Structure

MIFY exposes 790+ REST endpoints at https://your-mify-instance/api/. Key areas:

Area	Base Path	What You Can Do
Graphs	/api/graphs	Create, update, delete, run workflows
Templates	/api/templates	Browse available templates
Content Gen	/api/content-gen	Generate images, text, video
Executions	/api/executions	View run history
Knowledge Bases	/api/knowledge-bases	Manage document collections

Full interactive reference: API Explorer

Authentication

Create an API key in Settings → API Keys, then use it as a Bearer token:

# List your workflows
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mify_your_api_key" \
  https://your-instance/api/graphs

# Create a workflow
curl -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mify_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "My API Workflow"}' \
  https://your-instance/api/graphs

Your First API Call

# 1. List templates
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mify_xxx" \
  https://your-instance/api/templates

# 2. Get a specific template
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mify_xxx" \
  https://your-instance/api/templates/rag-qa

# 3. Create a graph from the template
curl -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mify_xxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "My RAG Pipeline", "templateId": "rag-qa"}' \
  https://your-instance/api/graphs

Exercise

1. Create an API key in Settings → API Keys
2. Use curl or Postman to list your graphs
3. Create a new graph via API
4. View it in the Canvas UI to confirm it was created
