API spec draft adapted for an engineering review
Engineering handoff example that keeps the API contract provisional and reviewable.
Source input
Expose saved workflow outputs so customers can fetch outputs by module, read recent runs, and trigger exports from their own internal tools. Entities: saved outputs, generations, API keys. Operations: list saved outputs, fetch one output, list recent generations, trigger markdown export, revoke API keys. Need per-user auth, workspace scoping, API key auth for backend clients, and conservative rate limits for export endpoints.
Structured output
endpoint list
Recommended endpoints include GET /saved-outputs, GET /saved-outputs/{id}, GET /generations/recent, POST /exports/{savedOutputId}, and DELETE /api-keys/{id}.
request response schemas
List endpoints should return id, title, module slug, created date, and summary metadata. Export triggers should return job status, requested format, and download URL when ready.
auth model
Use API key auth for backend clients and enforce user or workspace ownership checks on every resource lookup.
error handling
Return clear 401, 403, 404, and 429 responses with stable machine-readable codes for auth, access, missing resources, and quota failures.
rate limits
Apply tighter rate limits to export and history endpoints than simple read endpoints. Track usage by API key and user where possible.
