# Mintlify API

Use the Mintlify API to manage documentation sites programmatically. This skill covers deployment management, build triggers, and site metadata queries.

## Authentication

All API requests require an API key passed in the `Authorization` header:

```
Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>
```

Generate API keys from the [Mintlify dashboard](https://app.mintlify.com) under Settings > API Keys.

## Core capabilities

### Trigger deployments

Programmatically trigger a documentation rebuild when your codebase changes outside of Git push events.

### Query site metadata

Retrieve information about your documentation site including deployment status, configured domains, and navigation structure.

### Manage preview deployments

Create and manage preview deployments for pull requests and branches to review documentation changes before they go live.
