# Types of namespaces

The Link11 WAAP API includes over a dozen namespaces, each containing a number of routes.&#x20;

Each namespace has its own page in the documentation, listing all its routes, their parameters, and so on. These pages can be accessed in the left sidebar, in the [Namespace reference section](/reference-information/api/namespace-reference.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
The namespace pages are intended to act as a reference. They assume that you're already familiar with how to use the API, which is explained here [Using the Product / The Link11 WAAP API](/using-the-product/the-link11-waap-api.md).

Also, by default, every L11WAAP planet includes a Swagger UI instance that offers this same namespace information. However, the Swagger instance also provides additional interactive features, such as automatically building curl commands, submitting API calls directly, and more. [Read more about this](/using-the-product/the-link11-waap-api/using-swagger-ui.md).
{% endhint %}

Below is a general guide to the namespaces, showing the type of functionality each one provides. The namespaces can be organized into three broad categories:

* Security settings
* Site-related settings
* Other capabilities

## Security settings
