# Explore the API Reference

The MERPI API is organized into five sections, each covering a specific ticket category. Every section contains the full endpoint reference for that category, including request parameters, response structures, and examples.

### How Each Section Is Structured

Every endpoint page in the API reference follows the same structure so you always know what to expect:

* **Endpoint**: The HTTP method and path
* **Query or path parameters**: What you can pass and what each field does
* **Response fields**: A description of every field returned
* **Example requests**: Ready-to-use request examples
* **Example responses**: Real response payloads showing all possible field combinations
