siyuan

You can manage SiYuan notes by sending curl POST requests to the kernel API endpoints using an API token. This enables full CRUD operations on blocks, documents, and notebooks in your self-hosted knowledge base.

To automate your knowledge base, you need a running SiYuan instance, a valid API token, and curl installed. Optional jq is recommended for shaping the JSON responses from the API endpoints.

Yes, you can perform full-text searches in a remote SiYuan deployment by executing curl commands against the kernel API. This allows you to quickly locate notes and sections from external triggers.

The SiYuan kernel API handles block updates through POST endpoints that accept specific data formats. You send authenticated curl requests to create, update, or delete blocks and documents within your notebooks.

Yes, the curl API approach works for both local and remote SiYuan deployments. As long as you have network access to the running kernel instance and a valid API token, you can manage your notes.

Using curl to manage a SiYuan knowledge base is limited to the endpoints and data formats exposed by the kernel API. Complex operations may require constructing large JSON payloads and manually parsing responses with jq.
