Backend and APIs

The backend is served by scripts/portal-proxy.mjs. It combines Prototics storage, authentication, Portal proxying, layer query helpers, and Utility Network operations.

Authentication

POST /api/prototics/auth/register
POST /api/prototics/auth/login
POST /api/prototics/auth/logout
GET /api/prototics/auth/me
PUT /api/prototics/auth/me

Configurations and Styles

Use bearer authorization for configuration and style endpoints. The backend supports list, create, read, update, and delete operations for both record types.

Operational APIs

/api/portal proxies Portal REST calls.
/api/layer-fields reads available fields.
/api/layer-query queries layer features.
/api/utility-network/trace forwards Utility Network trace requests.
/api/assistant supports assistant-backed profile help where configured.

Storage

The default VPS data directory is /opt/profiletool/data. JSON files include users, sessions, trial requests, configurations, styles, datasets, and mail outbox records.
