Get, change, and otherwise interact with your notes in Obsidian via a REST API.

Local REST API for Obsidian

See our interactive docs: https://coddingtonbear.github.io/obsidian-local-rest-api/

Have you ever needed to automate interacting with your notes? This plugin gives Obsidian a REST API you can interact with your notes from other tools so you can automate what you need to automate.

This plugin provides a secure HTTPS interface gated behind api key authentication that allows you to:

• Read, create, update or delete existing notes. There's even a PATCH HTTP method for inserting content into a particular section of a note.
• List notes stored in your vault.
• Create and fetch periodic notes.
• Execute commands and list what commands are available.

This is particularly useful if you need to interact with Obsidian from a browser extension like Obsidian Web.

This was inspired by Vinzent03's advanced-uri plugin with hopes of expanding the automation options beyond the limitations of custom URL schemes.
