  description: 'REPRESENTATIVE SPECIFICATION - NOT A FIRST-PARTY MODAL REST API.

    Modal''s primary developer interface is the Python SDK (plus JavaScript and Go SDKs) and the `modal` CLI, communicating with Modal''s backend over gRPC. Modal does NOT publish a conventional first-party public REST API for defining or invoking infrastructure.

    The only genuine HTTPS surface is USER-DEPLOYED web endpoints: functions decorated with @modal.fastapi_endpoint (formerly @modal.web_endpoint), @modal.asgi_app, @modal.wsgi_app, or @modal.web_server are automatically served on *.modal.run. The URL host shape (https://<workspace>--<app>-<function>.modal.run) is fixed by Modal, but the routes, methods, and request/response schemas are entirely defined by the developer''s own code. A running Sandbox can similarly expose a container port over an HTTPS network tunnel.

    This document illustrates the SHAPE of a typical user-deployed endpoint so the surface can be catalogued. It is representative only; the concrete contract varies per deployed function. Do not treat any path or schema below as an official Modal-owned endpoint.'
