+Relay Management API
+--------------------
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+Relays may provide an API for performing management tasks. This is made available as a JSON-RPC-like request-response protocol over HTTP, on the same URI as the relay's websocket.
+
+When a relay receives an HTTP(s) request with a `Content-Type` header of `application/nostr+json+rpc` to a URI supporting WebSocket upgrades, it should parse the request as a JSON document with the following fields:
+
+```json
+{
+  "method": "<method-name>",
+  "params": ["<array>", "<of>", "<parameters>"]
+}
+```
+
+Then it should return a response in the format
+
+```json
+{
+  "result": {"<arbitrary>": "<value>"},
+  "error": "<optional error message, if the call has errored>"
+}
+```
+
+This is the list of **methods** that may be supported:
+
+* `supportedmethods`:
+  - params: `[]`
+  - result: `["<method-name>", "<method-name>", ...]` (an array with the names of all the other supported methods)
+* `banpubkey`:
+  - params: `["<32-byte-hex-public-key>", "<optional-reason>"]`
+  - result: `true` (a boolean always set to `true`)
+* `listbannedpubkeys`:
+  - params: `[]`
+  - result: `[{"pubkey": "<32-byte-hex>", "reason": "<optional-reason>"}, ...]`, an array of objects
+* `allowpubkey`:
+  - params: `["<32-byte-hex-public-key>", "<optional-reason>"]`
+  - result: `true` (a boolean always set to `true`)
+* `listallowedpubkeys`:
+  - params: `[]`
+  - result: `[{"pubkey": "<32-byte-hex>", "reason": "<optional-reason>"}, ...]`, an array of objects
+* `listeventsneedingmoderation`:
+  - params: `[]`
+  - result: `[{"id": "<32-byte-hex>", "reason": "<optional-reason>"}]`, an array of objects
+* `allowevent`:
+  - params: `["<32-byte-hex-event-id>", "<optional-reason>"]`
+  - result: `true` (a boolean always set to `true`)
+* `banevent`:
+  - params: `["<32-byte-hex-event-id>", "<optional-reason>"]`
+  - result: `true` (a boolean always set to `true`)
+* `listbannedevents`:
+  - params: `[]`
+  - result: `[{"id": "<32-byte hex>", "reason": "<optional-reason>"}, ...]`, an array of objects
+* `changerelayname`:
+  - params: `["<new-name>"]`
+  - result: `true` (a boolean always set to `true`)
+* `changerelaydescription`:
+  - params: `["<new-description>"]`
+  - result: `true` (a boolean always set to `true`)
+* `changerelayicon`:
+  - params: `["<new-icon-url>"]`
+  - result: `true` (a boolean always set to `true`)
+* `allowkind`:
+  - params: `[<kind-number>]`
+  - result: `true` (a boolean always set to `true`)
+* `disallowkind`:
+  - params: `[<kind-number>]`
+  - result: `true` (a boolean always set to `true`)
+* `listallowedkinds`:
+  - params: `[]`
+  - result: `[<kind-number>, ...]`, an array of numbers
+* `blockip`:
+  - params: `["<ip-address>", "<optional-reason>"]`
+  - result: `true` (a boolean always set to `true`)
+* `unblockip`:
+  - params: `["<ip-address>"]`
+  - result: `true` (a boolean always set to `true`)
+* `listblockedips`:
+  - params: `[]`
+  - result: `[{"ip": "<ip-address>", "reason": "<optional-reason>"}, ...]`, an array of objects
+
+### Authorization
+
+The request must contain an `Authorization` header with a valid [NIP-98](./98.md) event, except the `payload` tag is required. The `u` tag is the relay URL.
+
+If `Authorization` is not provided or is invalid, the endpoint should return a 401 response.
