Warrant Objects API

openapi: 3.0.3

  title: Warrant Check Objects API
  description: 'Warrant was a centralized, fine-grained authorization (FGA) service inspired by Google Zanzibar. Applications defined an authorization model (object types and relations), wrote relationship tuples called warrants between objects, and then ran real-time access checks and relationship queries. The service supported ReBAC, RBAC, and ABAC, plus entitlements (features and pricing tiers). The core engine is open source (Apache-2.0, github.com/warrant-dev/warrant) and self-hostable against MySQL, Postgres, or SQLite; the self-hosted server listens on port 8000 by default. The hosted service used base URL https://api.warrant.dev with API-key authentication via the `Authorization: ApiKey <key>` header.

    STATUS - RETIRED. Warrant was acquired by WorkOS on 2024-04-23 and folded into WorkOS FGA. The standalone hosted Warrant API (api.warrant.dev) and the Warrant-based WorkOS FGA were deprecated and sunset on 2025-11-15. The paths below are MODELED from Warrant''s publicly documented v1/v2 API for historical and access-control reference; they are not a live contract. Verify current fine-grained authorization at https://workos.com/docs/fga.'
