I agree with Vladimer, I think it would even be a good idea to have a
cheatsheet where all API endpoints can be readily found (with usage format)
rather than having to srach through the docs every time. I know for old
users, it might be no issue but how about the new users.

I will be willing to create the cheatsheet if anyone can provide valid and
complete information on the endpoints.
