## Resolve a Path to a Document


**Required scope:** `public-api:read`

You need to activate the [Categories](/reference/project-config/categories/llms.txt) / [Routing](/reference/project-config/content-types/llms.txt#routing) feature in the Project Config in order to resolve paths to your documents. Routing is a quite advanced topic and the examples only work with a default configuration. Find more [here](/guides/organisation/routing-system/).

**Curl Example**

```bash
ACCESS_TOKEN=ey1234
curl -k -X GET "https://server.livingdocs.io/api/2026-05/routing/resolve?path=:path" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN"
```


**Endpoint**

```http
GET /api/2026-05/routing/resolve
```


**Parameters**

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| ---- | ---- | :------: | ----- |

| path | string | x | Path to the document.<br>Example 1: A page with a category `/news` can be found with `?path=/news.html`.<br>Example 2: A document with id 10, with category `/news` and a slug `hello` can be found with `?path=/magazin/hello-10.html'`. |
