OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.0.1
info:
  title: Xano Metadata API Groups Files API
  description: The Xano Metadata API lets you programmatically manage the contents of a Xano workspace - database tables, column schema, indexes, table records (content), files, branches, API groups and their endpoints. It is served from each Xano instance at the templated host below, appended with the `/api:meta` path, and is authenticated with scoped Bearer access tokens generated from instance settings. Separately, each user-built API group in a workspace auto-generates its own OpenAPI/Swagger document served at that group's `/api:{token}` path; those generated, per-workspace specifications are not enumerated here.
