Ballerina Triggers API

  title: Ballerina Triggers API
  description: The public read API of Ballerina Central — the package registry for the Ballerina programming
    language, operated by WSO2. The surface documented here was established by calling every operation
    anonymously on 2026-09-04 and by reading WSO2's own first-party clients of this API (ballerina-platform/skills
    mcp/src/central-client.js and ballerina-platform/ballerina-library connector-doc-generator/modules/central/central.bal),
    which name the same paths. Every path, parameter, response shape and error envelope below was observed
    on a live call; nothing is inferred from marketing copy.

  supersedes: An earlier scaffold in this repo described /2.0/packages, /2.0/connectors and /2.0/organizations/{org}.
    Every one of those paths returns HTTP 404 on the live host; they were replaced by the probed surface
    below.
