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.
