Summary

Adds a comprehensive API reference document at docs/API_REFERENCE.md covering every endpoint in the StarkEd backend API.

What's included

  • 16 API modules fully documented under /api/v1/
    • Health (liveness, readiness, full status)
    • Auth (register, login, profile, role management, user admin)
    • Content / IPFS (upload, batch upload, retrieve, pin/unpin, cache, node info)
    • Courses & Versions (create/list/compare/restore/export versions, settings, statistics)
    • Enrollments (full CRUD, progress, waitlist, certificates, analytics, bulk ops)
    • Payments (Stellar payments, intents, refunds, webhooks, exchange rates)
    • Quizzes (CRUD, publish, submit, grading, statistics)
    • Assignments (create, submit, grade, bulk grade, stats)
    • Analytics (overview, reports, enrollment trends, completion rates, export)
    • Search (full-text, voice, suggestions, recommendations, history, alerts)
    • Gamification (leaderboard, achievements, events, points, challenges)
    • Notifications (history, read/unread, preferences)
    • Time-Lock Credentials (issue, release, batch release, emergency revoke, audit)
    • VRF — Verifiable Random Function (request, generate, beacon, commit-reveal)
    • Holographic Storage (encode, decode, parallel access, metrics, optimize)

  • ✅ Query/path parameters documented
  • ✅ Code examples in both cURL and JavaScript for key endpoints
