# Overview

Link11 WAAP includes an API that provides full coverage of the system's capabilities.

Using the API will require familiarity with the following:

* L11WAAP's [internal data structures](https://waap.docs.link11.com/using-the-product/the-link11-waap-api/internal-data-structures)
* The API's namespaces and endpoints, which are documented in two locations:
  * In the reference section of this manual [here](https://waap.docs.link11.com/reference-information/api).
  * In Swagger UI. Along with documenting the API, this also includes the ability to submit API calls directly to your planet. ([more info](https://waap.docs.link11.com/using-the-product/the-link11-waap-api/using-swagger-ui))
* (Optional) the process for [accessing the API using curl](https://waap.docs.link11.com/using-the-product/the-link11-waap-api/using-curl).
