  title: Nickel API
  description: >-
    This is the specification for the Nickel Rest API. The API lets you
    programmatically interact with the Nickel server. It uses resource oriented
    URLs, accepts and returns JSON encoded payloads and uses standard HTTP
    response codes. It is not a direct API to move money, but instead allows you
    to interact with Nickel as you would on a web interface.
