  title: Literal AI API
  description: >-
    HTTP transport model for the Literal AI observability, evaluation, and
    analytics platform. The Literal AI API is GraphQL: a single POST endpoint
    at /api/graphql accepts a GraphQL query/mutation document and variables.
    This OpenAPI document models that single endpoint so the GraphQL surface is
    discoverable in REST tooling; the full type system lives in
    graphql/literalai-schema.graphql. Authentication uses the x-api-key header.

        Single GraphQL endpoint for all Literal AI operations - threads, steps,
        generations, datasets, experiments, prompts, and scores. The request
        body carries a GraphQL document and an optional variables object;
        responses follow the standard GraphQL { data, errors } envelope.
