CausaLens

Dara Application Framework HTTP API

The HTTP surface exposed by a Dara application. Dara is causaLens' Apache-2.0 open-source Python framework built on FastAPI; each app serves a documented set of built-in routes (session verification, token refresh, file upload) and lets developers register custom REST endpoints with the dara.core.http get/post/put/patch/delete decorators. Dara applications are self-hosted, so there is no single vendor-operated base URL — the base URL is whatever host the operator deploys the app to.
