SEED documentation

Use SEED from Obsidian or your own scripts. Start with the connection method that fits your workflow.

Choose how to connect

Write in Obsidian

Connect SEED Publisher in your browser, then work with the note you choose.

Automate with the API

Create an API key in Settings and use it from a script, server, or command line. No Obsidian installation needed.

Both methods use your SEED account, plan, usage limits, and connected publishing accounts. A connection does not add permissions to Blogger or social services.

Browser connection or API key?

Browser connection

For an interactive plugin or client. Uses S256 PKCE and explicit account approval. The one-use code lasts five minutes. Access tokens last 15 minutes; refresh tokens rotate on use within a fixed 30-day connection. Reusing a consumed refresh token revokes that connection.

API key

For repeated, unattended requests. Created and revoked in Settings, with the permissions and expiry you choose. Keep it in your automation’s secret store.

Permissions cover the listed operations across your account, not one selected note. Choose the smallest set you need. Both credentials use the same API endpoints.

Need a hand?

Send the endpoint, HTTP status, error code, and approximate request time. Never send an API key, authorization code, token, or private note content.
