Pixie's gRPC API for programmatically running PxL scripts against live Kubernetes clusters and managing Pixie Cloud resources. Two services: Pixie Cloud (cluster discovery, API/deploy keys, artifacts, plugins) and Pixie Vizier (ExecuteScript streaming query execution, health checks). First-party Go (px.dev/pxapi) and Python (pxapi) client libraries wrap the gRPC transport and handle API-key auth and result table streaming.
