name: Drone
description: Drone is an open-source, container-native continuous integration and continuous delivery platform that automates
  software build, testing, and deployment pipelines entirely through Docker containers. Acquired by Harness in 2021, Drone
  enables development teams to define pipelines as code using simple YAML configuration files committed alongside their source
  code. The platform provides a comprehensive REST API for managing builds, repositories, secrets, cron jobs, templates, and
  user accounts in both self-hosted and cloud deployments. Drone supports multiple source control providers including GitHub,
  GitHub Enterprise, Bitbucket, and GitLab, and is available as a free open-source edition (Apache 2 license) or a paid enterprise
  edition for larger organizations.

  name: Drone REST API
  description: The Drone REST API provides programmatic access to the Drone CI/CD platform, enabling management of builds,
    repositories, secrets, cron jobs, templates, and user accounts. Authentication is performed using bearer tokens retrieved
    from the Drone user interface profile page. The API supports operations across seven resource categories including builds
    (approve, create, decline, list, logs, promote, restart, stop), cron jobs, repositories, secrets, templates, individual
    user profile, and administrative user management.
