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.

  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.
