  description: >-
    The Devin API lets you create and drive Devin, Cognition's autonomous AI
    software engineer, programmatically. This document models the legacy v1
    surface (api.devin.ai/v1, still live and documented, authenticated with
    apk_user_*/apk_* keys) in full - sessions, messages, attachments,
    knowledge, playbooks, and secrets - plus representative endpoints from the
    current v3 organizations/enterprise surface (api.devin.ai/v3,
    authenticated with cog_ service-user or personal access tokens) and the
    v2/v3 consumption (ACU usage) endpoints. The v2/v3 enterprise surface has
    additional organization, member, and API-key management endpoints not
    exhaustively modeled here; see the humanURL/APIReference links in
    apis.yml for the full documented set. All endpoints are transcribed from
    Cognition's public documentation at https://docs.devin.ai and have not
    been exercised against production credentials, which require an active
    paid Devin plan or Enterprise contract.
