OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: Bubble Plugin Thing API
  description: 'The Bubble Plugin API is a JavaScript SDK surface (not an HTTP API) that plugin

    authors use to extend Bubble apps. It exposes server-side actions, client-side

    actions, and visual elements that read configured properties and interact with

    the runtime via a `context` object. Plugin API v4 replaces Fibers with

    Promises and adds first-class type checks (`isBubbleThing`, `isBubbleList`),

    by-id lookups (`getThingById`, `getThingsById`), and async iteration on

    `BubbleList`.


    This OpenAPI document describes the SDK surface as a virtual REST API for

    catalog and discovery purposes. Each "endpoint" represents a callable

    JavaScript function in the plugin runtime; `paths` carry the function name

    and `requestBody`/`responses` describe its parameters and return value.
