# Getting started

Most endpoints are public and require no credentials. Just call them directly with a JSON body:

```http
POST https://api-uicp.yelbolt.workers.dev/v1/get-palette
Content-Type: application/json
```

To publish or manage palettes in the community gallery you'll need an access token. Here's the flow:

1. Call `GET /authenticate` — it returns a Server-Sent Events stream.
2. Open the `auth_url` from the first event in your browser and sign in.
3. The stream emits a `success` event with `access_token` and `refresh_token`.
4. Pass the token on protected endpoints: `Authorization: Bearer <access_token>`
