+## API Documentation
+
+### Ingest 
+
+```
+POST `/api/ingest?token=xxx`
+```
+
+This API is used to send MinIO audit logs for ingestion into the API service.
+
+The `token` parameter is used to authenticate the request and should be equal to the `LOGSEARCH_AUDIT_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable passed to the server.
+
+The body must be a JSON object representing a single audit log object created by a MinIO server.
+
+This endpoint must be configured as the audit log endpoint in the MinIO server.
+
+### Query
+
+```
+GET /api/query?token=xxx&...
+```
+
+This API is used to query MinIO audit logs stored by the API service.
+
+The `token` parameter is used to authenticate the request and should be equal to the `LOGSEARCH_QUERY_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable passed to the server.
+
+Additional query parameters specify the logs to be retrieved.

+
+#### Filter Parameters
+
+Filter parameters only work when `q=reqinfo` is set. Filter parameters allow filtering records based on key-value pattern matching. 
+
+The format for each filter pattern is `key:value-pattern`. The `key` is the name of the field to match on can be one of `bucket`, `object`, `api_name`, `request_id`, `user_agent` or `response_status`. The value is a glob expression using `.` to signify any single character and `*` to match any number of characters. For example `bucket:photos-*` matches any bucket with a `photos-` prefix. To match a literal `.` or `*` prefix it with a `\`. To match a literal `\`, just double it: `\\`.
