API Reference

HTTP routes exposed by Bark.

GET /{path} ​

Returns the rendered HTML page for the given documentation path.

bash
curl http://localhost:5000/guide/getting-started

Request handling:

  1. The pre-rendered page is read from the in-memory cache (built at startup, rebuilt on file change).
  2. A SHA-256 ETag is computed. A matching If-None-Match returns 304 Not Modified.
  3. Navigation, breadcrumbs, table of contents and pagination are built.
  4. The assembled HTML is returned.

Unknown paths return the 404 page.

GET /raw/{path} ​

Returns the Markdown source of a page. Used by the page controls "Copy page" and "View as Markdown" actions.

bash
curl -O http://localhost:5000/raw/guide/getting-started

Default response: file download (Content-Disposition: attachment). ?view=true returns inline text/plain, used by "View as Markdown".

Path normalization matches the page route (case-insensitive, trailing slash optional). Unknown paths and paths through symlinks return 404 Not Found.
