PrivyPad API Skill

PrivyPad is a zero-knowledge encrypted notes app. This skill covers all interactions with its public REST API (https://www.privypad.com/api/v1/).

Authentication

All note and group endpoints require a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Authorization: Bearer pp_<uuid>.<base64url-secret>

The token is created once in PrivyPad Settings and must be supplied by the user. Never ask the user for their password — the token is self-contained.

Token management endpoints (/api/tokens) use the session cookie instead and are only available in a browser context; do not attempt to call them from scripts.

Base URL

https://www.privypad.com/api/v1

Endpoints

Notes

List notes

GET /notes

Query parameters (all optional):

Get a single note

GET /notes/:id

Create a note

POST /notes
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "title":    "string",
  "content":  "string",
  "group":    "string",   // optional
  "tags":     ["string"], // optional
  "isPinned": false       // optional
}

Update a note (partial)

PATCH /notes/:id
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "title":    "string",   // any subset of fields
  "content":  "string",
  "group":    "string",
  "tags":     ["string"],
  "isPinned": true
}

Delete / trash a note

DELETE /notes/:id

Add ?permanent=true to hard-delete instead of moving to trash.

Groups

List groups

GET /groups

Returns all group names for the authenticated user. No query parameters.

Code Pattern (JavaScript / fetch)

const PRIVYPAD_TOKEN = "pp_<uuid>.<base64url-secret>"; // supplied by user
const BASE = "https://privypad.com/api/v1";

async function privypad(method, path, body) {
  const res = await fetch(`${BASE}${path}`, {
    method,
    headers: {
      "Authorization": `Bearer ${PRIVYPAD_TOKEN}`,
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: body ? JSON.stringify(body) : undefined,
  });
  if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`PrivyPad ${res.status}: ${await res.text()}`);
  return res.json();
}

// Examples
const notes   = await privypad("GET",   "/notes?pinned=true");
const note    = await privypad("GET",   `/notes/${id}`);
const created = await privypad("POST",  "/notes", { title: "Hello", content: "World" });
const updated = await privypad("PATCH", `/notes/${id}`, { isPinned: true });
await              privypad("DELETE", `/notes/${id}`);
const groups  = await privypad("GET",   "/groups");

Code Pattern (Python / httpx)

import httpx

TOKEN = "pp_<uuid>.<base64url-secret>"  # supplied by user
BASE  = "https://privypad.com/api/v1"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}"}

def privypad(method, path, **kwargs):
    r = httpx.request(method, BASE + path, headers=HEADERS, **kwargs)
    r.raise_for_status()
    return r.json()

# Examples
notes   = privypad("GET",    "/notes", params={"group": "Work"})
created = privypad("POST",   "/notes", json={"title": "Hi", "content": "There"})
updated = privypad("PATCH",  f"/notes/{note_id}", json={"isPinned": True})
privypad("DELETE", f"/notes/{note_id}?permanent=true")
groups  = privypad("GET",    "/groups")

Important Notes

• Zero-knowledge: The server stores notes encrypted. The token embeds the

client-side secret needed to decrypt them. Never log or expose the token.

• Trash vs. hard-delete: DELETE /notes/:id moves to trash by default.

Pass ?permanent=true only when the user explicitly confirms permanent deletion.

• HTML content: The content field must be HTML, not Markdown. Use <h1>, <h2>,

<p>, <strong>, <em>, <ul>/<li>, <ol>/<li>, <hr> etc.

• Partial updates: PATCH accepts any subset of fields — only send what changes.
• Pagination: Use limit + offset when fetching large note lists to avoid

oversized responses.

• Token scope: If the user's token was revoked or expired, all API calls will

return 401. Prompt the user to generate a new token in PrivyPad Settings.
