OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.0.1
info:
  title: Depot BuildKitService API
  description: HTTP/JSON view of the Depot API. Depot's API is built on Connect, which offers multiprotocol support for gRPC, gRPC-Web, and HTTP/JSON over the same services. Each remote procedure call (RPC) is invoked as an HTTP POST to a path of the form /{package}.{Service}/{Method}, with a JSON request body and a JSON response body. This document models the documented services for managing projects, project tokens, builds, and BuildKit connections. All requests are authenticated with a Bearer token (an organization API token, user token, or project token) in the Authorization header.
