+## Karakeep API helper
+
+- `bin/karakeep_api.py` — tiny Karakeep REST helper backed by the local encrypted vault entry
+  - reads `.secrets/karakeep_secrets.json.enc`
+  - uses `baseUrl` + `apiKey`
+  - targets `/api/v1/...` routes by default
+  - supports ad hoc GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE calls with query/body args
+
+Examples:
+
+```bash
+automation/bin/karakeep_api.py bookmarks --query limit=5 --pretty
+automation/bin/karakeep_api.py tags --pretty
+automation/bin/karakeep_api.py /api/health --raw-path --pretty
+```
+
 ## Backup scripts
 
 - `bin/pd_backup_postgres.sh` — creates gzipped `pg_dump` exports for the configured Postgres DB list (quote space-separated DB names in `.env`, e.g. `POSTGRES_DB_LIST="n8n paperless"`)
