# Registry Service REST API Reference

This functionality is only available for producers who use the Software Delivery module.

The Registry Service REST API enables producers who distribute containerized applications using the Revenera registry to manage their projects directly, without using the Docker or Helm command-line interface (CLI). This allows producers to incorporate relevant functionality into their own portal implementations.

The REST API can be used regardless of the type of registry—shared, dedicated, or open registry.

The Registry Service REST API includes the following:

- [Software Container Delivery Public APIs](/apis/rest/registry-service/softwarecontainerdelivery/software-container-delivery-public-apis)—APIs for managing and distributing containerized applications.
- [auth controller](/apis/rest/registry-service/softwarecontainerdelivery/auth-controller)—API for creating a JSON Web Token for authorizing access to the Software Container Delivery REST API
