description: '# CoreStory API Overview
The CoreStory API provides programmatic access to structured insights derived from software source code. It is designed for engineering, architecture, and product teams who need to extract business logic, technical specifications, architectural relationships, and system-level context from complex or legacy codebases. By interfacing directly with CoreStory API, users can:
- Generate full Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) from a codebase
- Extract detailed Technical Specifications for modernization or migration
- Query a codebase using natural language to surface implementation details, logic paths, dependencies, and architectural insights
- Construct and visualize knowledge graphs of systems, components, and relationships
- Ingest, store, and retrieve content from a vector store for AI-powered retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows
CoreStory is especially valuable in contexts where:
- Codebases are large, unstructured, or under-documented
- Product and engineering teams are onboarding to unfamiliar systems
- Technical stakeholders require visibility into system design or feature coverage
- Modernization, replatforming, or M&A due diligence is underway
The API can be integrated into existing CI/CD pipelines, internal developer portals, architecture review boards, product planning processes, or documentation automation workflows. All endpoints support secure authentication and are designed for high-availability, asynchronous workloads. Output formats include JSON, Markdown, and PDF, with flexible formatting options for downstream consumption. For step-by-step usage instructions and workflows, refer to the CoreStory API Quick Start Guide. ## Features
* **Document Generation**
* Generate complete Product Requirements Documents (PRD)
* Generate Technical Specifications
* Generate individual document sections (executive overview, user personas, etc.)
* Format documents in JSON or Markdown
* **Vector Store Management**
* Ingest and manage documents in vector store
* Query and retrieve document content
* Manage document embeddings
* **Context Management**
* Manage context for different document types
* Set and retrieve PRD context
* Support for future context types (technical specs, user stories, etc.)
* **Knowledge Graph**
* Generate knowledge graphs from codebase queries
* Visualize relationships between code entities
* Analyze code structure and dependencies
* **API Endpoints**
* `/api/documents/*` - Document generation and formatting
* `/api/generate/*` - Document formatting utilities
* `/api/vector-store/*` - Vector store management
* `/api/agents/*` - AI agent operations
* `/api/context/*` - Context management for documents
* `/api/graph/*` - Knowledge graph generation and analysis
Note: JWT authentication support coming soon. All endpoints currently provide detailed OpenAPI documentation. * **Observability**
* OpenTelemetry instrumentation for distributed tracing
* Prometheus metrics endpoint at `/metrics`
* Comprehensive request/response tracking
* Custom business metrics
# CoreStory System Architecture
This document provides a high-level overview of how the CoreStory platform ingests, analyzes, and serves structured software intelligence through its API. The system is designed to process codebases and related technical artifacts in order to generate product specifications, technical documents, and knowledge graph representations. ---
## Core Components
### 1. **Ingestion Layer**
- Accepts Git URLs, file uploads, or local archives
- Extracts source files, documentation, and metadata
- Initiates chunking and embedding via the vector store pipeline
### 2. **Vector Store and Context Engine**
- Stores chunked and embedded documents
- Supports semantic search and document retrieval
- Feeds LLMs with scoped context for generation and reasoning
