Where did the API documentation in the documentation go? There used to be this great listing of all of the API calls but it seems to be gone now?

It's here, and it links to the objects used by the lemmy-js-client, so we don't have to maintain 3 copies of the API, but only 2.

It's also more descriptive as it has all the objects, not just the API calls.

How do you authenticate though?

It's in the forms section for data types : https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client/blob/main/src/interfaces/api/user.ts#L61

Is there an old copy of the API docs around? The ones that explained how you authenticate over HTTP and websockets?

Don't use those, they're out of date. You need to login, it returns a jwt string, and you store that and use it every auth field. It says that on the line I linked you.
