Where can I find docs for Lemmy's API? (lemmy.ml)

The API docs on join-lemmy.org are actually JavaScript SDK docs, not API docs. I want to build an API client in a different language, not write a JavaScript thing using the SDK, and would prefer not to plumb the JS SDK code to understand the API.

Is there somewhere that has a language-agnostic description of Lemmy's APIs?

This post is very old, but it's what came up when I googled it, so for anyone else, here's some basic scripts for logging in and then using the authentication to get something that may help you get started in exploring the API.
