Greptile Query API

  title: Greptile Query API
  description: Specification of the Greptile API. Greptile indexes Git repositories into a graph plus embeddings, then answers natural-language questions and searches over that indexed code. Authentication requires a Greptile API key as a Bearer token plus a Git provider token (for GitHub, a GitHub personal access token) supplied in the X-GitHub-Token header so Greptile can read the source.

      summary: Query repositories in natural language
      description: Submits a natural-language question against one or more indexed repositories and returns a synthesized answer plus the source files, functions, and classes used to construct it. Set stream to true to receive the answer incrementally as Server-Sent Events. Set genius to true to use a larger, more accurate model better suited to complex bug diagnosis (billed at a higher per-query rate).
