AMETEK

Crank Storyboard APIs

The public API reference for Crank Storyboard, the embedded graphical-interface development platform AMETEK acquired with Crank Software. Nine documented API families across 313 server-rendered, versioned reference pages at documentation version 9.0.2 — the Storyboard Engine public C API, Storyboard IO (libgreio.a / gre/greio.h) and its wrapper, the Lua API, Lua DOM module, Lua types and Lua canvas APIs, and the JavaScript and JavaScript canvas APIs. These are IN-PROCESS bindings compiled into or scripted inside an embedded application, not a network service: there is no base URL, no HTTP contract and no machine-readable spec, which is why baseURL is null and no OpenAPI is wired.

  method: fetched and parsed the documentation host and its sitemap
  url: https://docs.cranksoftware.com/sitemap.xml
  http_status: 200
  docs_describe: '705 sitemap URLs, of which 313 are per-function API reference pages under /docs/9.0/storyboard/api/
    — for example gre_io_open, gre_io_send, gre_io_receive and gre_io_serialize under the Storyboard IO
    API, each documenting a real function signature. Confirmed server-rendered: the fetched HTML carries
    the function list and prose without script execution.'
  surface_class: Library / in-process API, not a callable network endpoint. Listed because the reference
    genuinely documents an API; deliberately carries no baseURL, no OpenAPI and no agent skill, because
    there is no operation an agent can invoke over a network.
  ownership: Crank Software was acquired by AMETEK; the documentation and the github.com/crank-software
    organisation are the brand's own surfaces.
