# Is there a Lemmy API for communities, posts and comments?

Yes. Social Fetch has fourteen Lemmy routes under /v1/lemmy: instance, federated instances, community lists, one community, post lists, one post, post comments, latest comments, one comment, a user, that user's posts and comments, search, and the public moderation log. Authenticate with your Social Fetch API key in x-api-key.
