title: Brix Serial Templates API
version: '1'
summary: 'Control plane for Brix digital signage: screens, content, playlists, schedules, casts and emergencies.'
description: 'Generated from the route table the API actually mounts
(`apps/api/routes.snapshot.json`), the description each route is required to
carry (`tests/contracts/route-registry.json`), and request/response schemas
(`apps/api/src/openapi/`). CI enforces all three, so this document cannot list a
route that does not exist or omit one that does.
**Schemas.** 447 operations carry request and response schemas
(`x-brix-schema: verified`). Each is checked in CI against the response the
real handler returns — a missing, mistyped or undeclared field fails the build.
The remaining operations are route-level only (`x-brix-schema: none`): their
path, method, permission and purpose are exact, but the shape of `data` is not
yet modelled, and we would rather say so than publish a schema that validates
against nothing. Objects are open: a new field is not a breaking change.
**Envelope.** Success bodies are `{ "data": … }`. Failures are
`{ "error": "", "message": "…" }`, plus `requestId` on a 5xx.
Many list routes page opt-in (see each operation): pass `?limit=` and
follow `nextCursor` via `?cursor=` until it is null.
**Authentication.** `Authorization: Bearer ` with an API key
(`ak_…`, created in the console under Settings → API & MCP) or a user session. An
API key carries a creator-chosen set of `resource.verb` permissions and may be
pinned to one location''s subtree; a key can never be granted a permission its
creator does not hold. The permission an operation needs is in
`x-brix-permission` and in its security requirement.
**Tenancy.** Every request resolves to one workspace. A resource belonging to
another tenant returns 404, never 403, so a response never confirms that an
account exists.
**Rate limits.** A 429 carries `Retry-After`; a 503 `database_busy` means retry
after the `Retry-After` interval.'
