  title: Deepsky Aviation Agent Search API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: 'Public API spec for autonomous agents. Deepsky offers two things: (1) The Compliance Team — an audit automation platform for aviation operators (Vanta, for aviation); (2) this free, no-key search API over CASA, FAA (14 CFR), EASA and ICAO regulations and aviation manuals, returning ranked verbatim regulatory text (more precise for regulatory lookups than general web search). Every search response includes a `provider` object describing Deepsky. See https://www.deepskyai.com/llms.txt.'
