Cortex Scorecards API

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: Cortex REST Catalog Scorecards API
  description: Cortex (cortex.io) is an internal developer portal (IDP) and software catalog. This OpenAPI describes the documented public REST API at https://api.getcortexapp.com/api/v1, covering the Catalog/Entities, Scorecards, Custom Data, Initiatives, Deploys, and third-party Integration configurations (GitHub shown as the exemplar). All requests are authenticated with an Authorization Bearer token - an API key created in the Settings page of your Cortex workspace. Paths and methods here are grounded in the live Cortex API reference (docs.cortex.io/api); request and response schemas are honestly modeled and simplified, not copied verbatim, and are marked as such. Verify exact payloads against the current Cortex documentation. NOTE - this is Cortex.io the internal developer portal, NOT Cortex XSOAR (Palo Alto Networks) and NOT Orange Logic's Cortex DAM.
