				Authentication endpoint
			 
			
			
			I’ve been trying to find an /auth endpoint or something similar, but haven’t found anything. How can a client authenticate with Calibre server via the REST API?

			The calibre server uses HTTP auth. All the client has to do is provide the user name and password as part of every request. All http libraries have support for this.
