title: "API Overview"
description: "Introduction to the Fabro REST API"
---
<Warning>
The Fabro API is **under active development** and may be subject to change. Endpoints, request/response formats, and authentication mechanisms may evolve as the project matures.
</Warning>
The Fabro API is a REST API for managing workflow runs, interactive sessions, and related resources. All requests and responses use JSON.
## Base URL
The versioned API is served by `fabro serve`, which defaults to:
```
http://localhost:3000/api/v1
```
The base URL is configurable via `server.toml`:
```toml title="server.toml"
[api]
base_url = "https://fabro.example.com/api/v1"
```
## Authentication
The API supports two authentication strategies, configured in `server.toml`:
```toml title="server.toml"
[api]
authentication_strategies = ["jwt"]
```
### JWT (Bearer Token)
Send an Ed25519-signed JWT in the `Authorization` header:
```
Authorization: Bearer <token>
```
The token must include these claims:
| Claim | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `iss` | Issuer — must be `fabro-web` |
| `iat` | Issued-at timestamp (Unix seconds) |
| `exp` | Expiration timestamp (Unix seconds) |
| `sub` | Subject — a URL identifying the user (e.g. `https://github.com/username`) |
The username is extracted from the last path segment of the `sub` claim and checked against the `allowed_usernames` list in the web auth config.
Set the verification key via the `FABRO_JWT_PUBLIC_KEY` environment variable (PEM format or base64-encoded PEM).
### mTLS (Mutual TLS)
With mTLS, the client authenticates using a TLS client certificate. Configure both the strategy and TLS paths:
```toml title="server.toml"
[api]
authentication_strategies = ["mtls"]
[api.tls]
cert = "~/.fabro/certs/server.crt"
key = "~/.fabro/certs/server.key"
ca = "~/.fabro/certs/ca.crt"
```
The Common Name (CN) from the client certificate identifies the user.
### Multiple Strategies
You can configure both strategies. They are tried in order — the first successful match wins:
```toml title="server.toml"
[api]
authentication_strategies = ["jwt", "mtls"]
```
## Errors
### Error Shape
All error responses share a consistent JSON structure:
```json
{
"errors": [
{
"status": "404",
"title": "Not Found",
"detail": "Run abc123 not found."
}
]
}
```
Each entry in the `errors` array contains:
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `status` | `string` | The HTTP status code as a string |
| `title` | `string` | The canonical reason phrase for the status code |
| `detail` | `string` | A human-readable explanation of the error |
### HTTP Status Codes
| Status | Meaning | When It Occurs |
|--------|---------|----------------|
| `400 Bad Request` | The request body or parameters are invalid | Missing required fields, malformed JSON |
| `401 Unauthorized` | Authentication is missing or invalid | No token, expired token, invalid certificate |
| `403 Forbidden` | The authenticated user lacks access | Username not in the allowed list |
| `404 Not Found` | The requested resource does not exist | Unknown run ID, unknown workflow name |
| `409 Conflict` | The resource is in a conflicting state | Answering a question on a run that isn't running yet |
| `410 Gone` | The resource is no longer available | SSE event stream has closed |
| `501 Not Implemented` | The endpoint exists but is not yet implemented | Placeholder routes |
| `502 Bad Gateway` | An upstream dependency failed | Graphviz `dot` not installed or returned an error |
## Pagination
List endpoints that return large collections use offset-based pagination. Pass pagination parameters as query strings:
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `page[limit]` | `integer` | `20` | Maximum number of items to return (clamped to 1100) |
| `page[offset]` | `integer` | `0` | Number of items to skip |
Paginated responses include a `meta` object alongside the `data` array:
```json
{
"data": [...],
"meta": {
"has_more": true
}
}
```
When `has_more` is `true`, increment the offset by the limit to fetch the next page.
## Versioning
The Fabro API is versioned under `/api/v1`. All versioned endpoints, including the OpenAPI document, live under that prefix. Future breaking changes can be introduced under a new versioned prefix while preserving existing clients.
## Discovery
The root endpoint (`GET /`) returns discovery URLs. The health endpoint (`GET /health`) can be used for liveness checks. The OpenAPI spec is available at `GET /api/v1/openapi.json`.
