# Summary

Review the available Cases API endpoints, authentication requirements, and supported operations.

The **Cases API** supports retrieving, creating, updating, and deleting Case records in Monolith.

Use this page as a quick reference for the available Cases API endpoints. See the individual endpoint pages for request parameters, validation rules, response examples, and sample API calls.

### Base Path

```
/api/v1/cases
```

Use the API base URL for the Monolith environment where your tenant is hosted.

See [**API Endpoints**](/monolith/monolith-api-and-webhooks/api-access/api-endpoints.md) for cloud-region and on-premises endpoint guidance.

### Authentication

All Cases API endpoints require a valid Monolith API key in the following request header:

```
X-API-KEY: your_api_key
```

The Cases API does not use `Authorization: Bearer` authentication.

An invalid or missing API key returns an HTTP `401 Unauthorized` response.

See [**Authentication**](/monolith/monolith-api-and-webhooks/api-access/authentication.md) for additional API authentication guidance.
