Outline is a clean, open-source team wiki that has grown to become a popular self-hosted alternative to Confluence and Notion for engineering teams. The REST API is straightforward for agents that need to create, read, and organize team documentation. Self-hostable via Docker with PostgreSQL backing, or managed via Outline Cloud. Markdown-native content. Confidence is docs-derived.
REST API at app.getoutline.com/api/documents.list (post-based RPC style). Resources: documents, collections, groups, users. POST /api/documents.list lists documents (body: {collectionId, parentDocumentId}). POST /api/documents.create creates a document ({title, text, collectionId, parentDocumentId, publish: true}). POST /api/documents.update updates a document ({id, title, text}). POST /api/documents.delete removes a document. Response: JSON with data object.
API token auth: Authorization: Bearer {token} header. Tokens from Outline account → Settings → API Tokens. HTTPS enforced. No OAuth2. Workspace-scoped tokens. Self-hosted: same auth mechanism.
RPC-style POST endpoints return 200 for success or error objects within the response body. 401 for invalid token. Document text in Markdown format. Outline Cloud uptime at status.getoutline.com. Self-hosted: operator responsible for reliability.
getoutline.com/developers provides API reference with endpoint documentation. Getting started: create account (free plan available), generate API token, first document in under 5 minutes. Open-source MIT (GitHub: outline/outline). Community via Outline Discord and GitHub.
