# Guides

These guides lead you through a task, from the start to a result that works.
For the details of each endpoint and attribute, see [Using the API](../usage/index.md#usage) and
[Extending the API](../developer/index.md#developer).

Call the API · **[Cookbook](cookbook.md)**
Paginate, create, update, upload, handle errors and run the OAuth flow,
with real requests and responses.

Extend the API · **[Tutorial: your first action](tutorial.md)**
Build an action with its own scope and errors, and see what TYPO3
generates from it.
