description: Raycast is a macOS (and Windows, in beta) productivity launcher that ships
  an extensions platform, built-in AI, and a Store. Its developer surface is the
  @raycast/api TypeScript/Node SDK used to build extensions with React - a client-side
  library, not a public HTTP REST API. Capabilities such as AI, Storage, OAuth, and
  Preferences are exposed as SDK modules invoked from inside extensions rather than
  as standalone web endpoints.

    or HTTP endpoint required. Routes prompts across 80+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic,
    Google, Mistral, Groq, Perplexity, and xAI behind the Raycast Pro / Advanced AI
    subscription. Available only inside extensions through the @raycast/api library,

  description: The Raycast Store distributes community and partner extensions. Publishing
    is done via the `ray` CLI and a pull request to the github.com/raycast/extensions
    monorepo; there is no documented public REST API for programmatic store search or
    submission. The store is a curated marketplace fed by the open-source extensions
    repository.
