# API

The BlurIt OP API offers several functionalities. It allows you to obtain the current license by using the GET method on the [`/api/license`](https://doc-op.blurit.io/1.0.0/blurit-on-premise/usage/api/license) endpoint. Additionally, you can add a new license by using the POST method on the same endpoint. If a license already exists, it will be replaced by the new license.

Furthermore, the API provides the capability to add a blur task to the queue by using the POST method on the [`/api/blur_it`](https://doc-op.blurit.io/1.0.0/blurit-on-premise/usage/api/tasks) endpoint. You can also add a blur task for a directory by using the POST method on the [`/api/blur_it/directory`](https://doc-op.blurit.io/1.0.0/blurit-on-premise/usage/api/tasks/process-a-directory) endpoint.

Moreover, the API allows you to retrieve the status of a task by using the GET method on the [`/api/task/{task_id}`](https://doc-op.blurit.io/1.0.0/blurit-on-premise/usage/api/tasks/get-the-status-of-a-task) endpoint, where "task\_id" is the task identifier.
