# REST API ```{note} The IncusOS API is typically proxied through an installed application, such as [Incus](applications/incus.md). If interacting with the API manually, you will need to prefix `/os/` to correctly reach the IncusOS endpoints. For example, to get a list of applications you could run `curl https://1.2.3.4:8443/os/1.0/applications`. ``` ```{warning} The IncusOS debug API endpoints have no guarantee of API stability, and should not be used in normal day-to-day operations. ```
