Users and auditors can also interact with running policies via block and group endpoints. **Authentication:** All endpoints require a valid JWT Bearer token (`Authorization: Bearer `). Obtain a token via `POST /accounts/login`. See [Prerequisite Steps](/developer-tools/api-reference/policy-creation-using-the-guardian-apis/prerequesite-steps.md) before getting started. *** ## Endpoints | Method | Endpoint | Description | Auth Required | | ------ | ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------- | | GET | `/policies` | List all policies | Yes | | POST | `/policies` | Create a new policy | Yes | | GET | `/policies/{policyId}` | Get policy configuration | Yes | | PUT | `/policies/{policyId}` | Update policy configuration | Yes | | PUT | `/policies/{policyId}/publish` | Publish a policy | Yes | | POST | `/policies/validate` | Validate policy configuration | Yes | | GET | `/policies/{policyId}/blocks` | Get root policy block data | Yes | | GET | `/policies/{policyId}/blocks/{uuid}` | Get block data by UUID | Yes | | POST | `/policies/{policyId}/blocks/{uuid}` | Send data to a block | Yes | | GET | `/policies/{policyId}/tag/{tagName}` | Get block ID by tag | Yes | | GET | `/policies/{policyId}/tag/{tagName}/blocks` | Get block data by tag | Yes | | POST | `/policies/{policyId}/tag/{tagName}/blocks` | Send data to block by tag | Yes | | GET | `/policies/{policyId}/groups` | List groups for the current user | Yes | | POST | `/policies/{policyId}/groups` | Set the active group | Yes | | GET | `/policies/{policyId}/export/file` | Export policy as zip | Yes | | GET | `/policies/{policyId}/export/message` | Export policy message ID | Yes | | POST | `/policies/import/file` | Import policy from zip | Yes | | POST | `/policies/import/message` | Import policy from IPFS | Yes | | POST | `/policies/import/message/preview` | Preview policy from IPFS | Yes | *** ##
