# Read Zero Authority data with the API

You will know where the Zero Authority API lives and have the spec to call it from your own code.

## Open the API reference
Zero Authority's public data, including bounties, gigs, creators, quests and governance, is open over REST. Start with the reference at zeroauthoritydao.com/api-docs. [Full guide](https://zeroauthoritydao.ai/docs/build.md)

## Get the OpenAPI spec
Download the spec from zeroauthoritydao.com/openapi-spec.yaml to see every endpoint and generate a client if you like. [Full guide](https://zeroauthoritydao.ai/docs/build.md)

## Call the API
Send requests to the base URL `https://zeroauthoritydao.com/api`, using the paths from the reference. [Full guide](https://zeroauthoritydao.ai/docs/build.md)

## Or ask Nova
To look things up without code, ask Nova, for example "Active grants on ZADAO" or "Any design gigs open?". [Full guide](https://zeroauthoritydao.ai/docs/nova/zadao-ecosystem.md)
