REST API Reference

OpenSpawn REST API Reference

Base URL: https://api.openspawn.ai

All requests and responses use JSON (Content-Type: application/json). The API is scoped by organization — every resource belongs to an orgId that is resolved automatically from the authenticated identity.

---

Authentication

The API supports three authentication schemes depending on the caller type.

1. HMAC Request Signing (Agents)

Programmatic agents authenticate using HMAC-SHA256 request signing. Every request must include four custom headers:

Header	Description
X-Agent-ID	The agent’s identifier string (e.g. ceo-agent)
X-Timestamp	Unix epoch seconds (integer, string-encoded)
X-Nonce	A unique random string per request (UUID recommended)
X-Signature	HMAC-SHA256 of the canonical message (hex-encoded)

Canonical message format (fields concatenated with no separator):

{METHOD}{PATH}{TIMESTAMP}{NONCE}{BODY}

• METHOD — uppercase HTTP verb: GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE
• PATH — request path including query string, e.g. /tasks?status=todo
• TIMESTAMP — same value as the X-Timestamp header
• NONCE — same value as the X-Nonce header
• BODY — raw request body string; empty string "" for requests with no body

Signing algorithm:

SIGNATURE=$(echo -n "${METHOD}${PATH}${TIMESTAMP}${NONCE}${BODY}" \
  | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "${AGENT_SECRET}" -hex | awk '{print $2}')

Example signed request:

AGENT_ID="ceo-agent"
AGENT_SECRET="your-hmac-secret"
TIMESTAMP=$(date +%s)
NONCE=$(uuidgen)
METHOD="POST"
PATH="/tasks"
BODY='{"title":"Deploy v2","priority":"high"}'

SIGNATURE=$(printf '%s' "${METHOD}${PATH}${TIMESTAMP}${NONCE}${BODY}" \
  | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "$AGENT_SECRET" -hex | awk '{print $2}')

curl -X POST https://api.openspawn.ai/tasks \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Agent-ID: $AGENT_ID" \
  -H "X-Timestamp: $TIMESTAMP" \
  -H "X-Nonce: $NONCE" \
  -H "X-Signature: $SIGNATURE" \
  -d "$BODY"

Security rules enforced by the server:

• Timestamp must be within ±5 minutes of server time. Requests outside this window are rejected with 401 Unauthorized.
• Each nonce is stored for 10 minutes. Reusing a nonce within that window returns 401 Unauthorized (replay attack protection).
• Signatures are compared using constant-time comparison to prevent timing attacks.
• The agent must have status: active. Pending, suspended, or revoked agents receive 401 Unauthorized.

2. JWT Bearer Token (Human Users)

Human users (dashboard, admin UI) authenticate with a short-lived JWT access token obtained from POST /auth/login.

Authorization: Bearer <accessToken>

Access tokens expire quickly; use POST /auth/refresh to obtain a new pair without re-entering credentials.

3. API Key (Programmatic / CI)

API keys are long-lived bearer tokens scoped to read, write, or admin. Manage them via the /api-keys endpoints (JWT required to create/revoke).

Authorization: Bearer osk_...

Auth Modes

Auth enforcement is configurable. Not every deployment needs credentials — a solo developer running agents on their laptop shouldn’t need to log in.

Mode	Set via	Behavior
none	AUTH_MODE=none	All requests pass. The API injects a synthetic owner identity. Default for openspawn start.
local	AUTH_MODE=local	Single-user password. Login returns a bearer token. No external identity provider needed.
full	AUTH_MODE=full	JWT login + HMAC agent auth + API keys. Default for production deployments.

In all modes, HMAC and API key auth still work when credentials are provided — the mode only controls what happens when no credentials are sent.

---

Common Error Codes

HTTP Status	Meaning
400 Bad Request	Validation failed or malformed request body
401 Unauthorized	Missing, expired, or invalid credentials
403 Forbidden	Authenticated but not authorized for this action
404 Not Found	Resource does not exist in your organization
409 Conflict	Duplicate resource or constraint violation
500 Internal Server Error	Unexpected server error

All error responses follow:

{
  "statusCode": 401,
  "message": "Invalid credentials",
  "error": "Unauthorized"
}

API Keys

Base path: /api-keys

Authentication: JWT required for all endpoints.

API keys are long-lived credentials with explicit scope. Use them for CI/CD pipelines, server-side integrations, or any non-interactive context where rotating JWTs is impractical.

POST /api-keys — Create an API key

Auth: JWT required

Request body:

Field	Type	Required	Description
name	string	✅	Human-readable label (e.g. CI Pipeline)
scopes	(read | write | admin)[]	—	Default: ["read"]
expiresInDays	integer	—	Days until expiry; omit for no expiry

Response 200:

{
  "id": "uuid",
  "name": "CI Pipeline",
  "keyPrefix": "osk_abc",
  "secret": "osk_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",
  "scopes": ["read", "write"],
  "createdAt": "2026-03-03T16:00:00.000Z",
  "expiresAt": "2027-03-03T16:00:00.000Z"
}

Important: The secret field is only returned at creation time. Store it securely — it cannot be retrieved again.

curl example:

curl -X POST https://api.openspawn.ai/api-keys \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"CI Pipeline","scopes":["read","write"],"expiresInDays":365}'
