### Frequently Asked Questions

<details>

<summary>How the API is structured</summary>

All API endpoints are available under the following base URL:

```
https://api.safegpt.nl/v1/{endpoint}
```

Replace `{endpoint}` with the specific endpoint you want to call.

API requests are authenticated using bearer tokens. SafeGPT supports two authentication methods:

1. **JWT token** — a long-lived token for simple server-to-server integrations.
2. **OAuth 2.0** — the recommended method for production integrations, using refresh tokens and short-lived access tokens.

For implementation details, see the [Quickstart](/api-en/get-started/quickstart.md) guide.
