VRChat

description: 'VRChat is a social virtual-reality platform where users create avatars and worlds in Unity with the first-party
  VRChat SDK (Worlds, Avatars, Udon and UdonSharp), publish them through the VRChat Package Manager, and meet inside a persistent
  multi-user universe playable on PC VR, standalone headsets and desktop. VRChat operates a live web API at api.vrchat.cloud
  that powers its own client and website, but it explicitly does not document, version, or support that API for public use:
  its Creator Guidelines state endpoints may be added, removed, or changed with no warning. The machine-readable surface VRChat
  does publish is the creator toolchain — the VPM package listings at packages.vrchat.com, the vpm CLI on NuGet, the OSC and
  OSCQuery interfaces for external avatar and input control, an llms.txt documentation index, and a public Statuspage.'

  name: VRChat Web API
  description: The HTTP API at api.vrchat.cloud/api/1 that backs the VRChat client and the vrchat.com website — authentication,
    users, friends, worlds, avatars, instances, groups, files and notifications. VRChat operates this API publicly but explicitly
    does not document it, publish a machine-readable specification for it, or support third-party use of it. The only first-party
    guidance is the API section of the Creator Guidelines, which sets User-Agent, rate-limit and credential-handling rules
    for anyone who calls it anyway. The unauthenticated /api/1/config endpoint returns 200 with JSON and is the surface probed
    for this profile.

  description: The VRChat Package Manager repository API — machine-readable VPM listing documents served over HTTP that enumerate
    every first-party VRChat SDK package (Base, Worlds, Avatars, Package Resolver) and the curated community listing, with
    every published version, its display name, description, Unity requirements and dependency graph. This is the registry
    the VRChat Creator Companion and the vpm CLI read, and it is the one fully documented, fully machine-readable public API
    surface VRChat ships.

  state: covered
  reason: no-machine-readable-spec
  detail: VRChat operates a live public web API at api.vrchat.cloud (the anonymous /api/1/config endpoint returns 200 JSON)
    but states in its own Creator Guidelines that it does not document that API for public usage and that endpoints may be
    added, removed, or relocated with no warning — so no OpenAPI, no auth reference, and no error catalog exist to harvest,
    and the widely circulated vrchatapi/* specs are community reverse-engineering that this profile deliberately does not
    attribute to VRChat.
