## Overview Apache Zeppelin provides several REST APIs for interaction and remote activation of zeppelin functionality. All REST APIs are available starting with the following endpoint `http://[zeppelin-server]:[zeppelin-port]/api`. Note that Apache Zeppelin REST APIs receive or return JSON objects, it is recommended for you to install some JSON viewers such as [JSONView](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jsonview/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefhakgolnmc). If you work with Apache Zeppelin and find a need for an additional REST API, please [file an issue or send us an email](http://zeppelin.apache.org/community.html). Notebooks REST API supports the following operations: List, Create, Get, Delete, Clone, Run, Export, Import as detailed in the following tables. ## Note operations ### List of the notes| Description | This ```GET``` method lists the available notes on your server. Notebook JSON contains the ```name``` and ```id``` of all notes. |
