OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: Granite Templates API
  version: 1.0.0
  summary: REST API for Granite clients, bots, and integrations.
  description: 'Conventions (apply to every operation; see PLAN.md 3.2 and 3.6):


    - **Base URL** `https://api.granite.md`. All public operations live under `/v1`.

    After Phase 6 ships, `/v1` changes are additive only.

    - **Errors** use RFC 9457 problem details (`application/problem+json`, schema `Problem`).

    The `type` URI is `https://granite.md/problems/`; `code` refines it for programmatic handling.

    Every response carries `X-Request-ID`, also echoed as `request_id` in problems.

    - **Pagination** is cursor based. List operations accept `cursor` and `limit` and return

    `{ "items": [...], "next_cursor": "..." }`. `next_cursor` is absent on the last page.

    Cursors are opaque; clients must not parse or build them.

    - **Idempotency**: non-idempotent `POST` operations accept an `Idempotency-Key` header

    (1-255 printable ASCII). Repeating a request with the same key and body within 24 hours

    returns the original response; the same key with a different body returns `409` with

    code `idempotency_key_reused`.

    - **IDs** are UUIDv7 strings. **Timestamps** are RFC 3339 in UTC.

    - **Authentication**: `Authorization: Bearer ` with a session access token,

    a personal API token (`gr_pat_...`), or an OAuth access token. Scopes are listed per operation.

    - **Rate limits**: each personal API token may make 600 requests a minute. Over the limit

    the API answers `429` with code `token_rate_limited` and a `Retry-After` header (seconds).'
