Open Build Service API

The _Open Build Service API_ is a XML API. To authenticate, use HTTP basic authentication by passing the _Authorization_ header in the form of `Authorization: Basic `. There is no API versioning as there is no need for it right now. Only rudimentary rate limiting is implemented, so please be gentle when using the API concurrently, especially with potentially expensive operations. In case of abuse, we will limit/remove your access. For command-line users, we recommend using osc with its _api_ command to interact with the API. It's as simple as this example: `osc api /about` (_about_ is one of the endpoints documented below)
