Docs/Developer/REST API reference

REST API reference

Every endpoint with parameters, a request in three languages, the response and the errors.

Base URL https://daishi.ai/api/v1. JSON in, JSON out, UTF-8. Send content-type: application/json on every request with a body. Every error is { "error": "<code>", "message": "<what to do>" }; the codes are on the Errors page.

#Conventions

AuthenticationAuthorization: Bearer dsk_... (or x-api-key). See Authentication.
Idsusc_ saved scenarios, run_ runs, bat_ series batches, daishi: library scenarios.
TimesMilliseconds since the Unix epoch, UTC, suffixed _ms.
MoneyUSD as decimal numbers, suffixed _usd.
VersioningThe path carries the major version. Fields are added, never removed or renamed, within a major.
Rate limitPer token per minute, set by the plan; 429 rate_limited above it.

#Discovery

#GET/api/v1

API index. Discover the API without a token: endpoints, docs, the MCP path.

Scope No tokenPlan Any

The only endpoint that needs no token. A client that knows only the host reads this to find the rest.

OpenAPI document. The API as an OpenAPI 3.1 document, for generators and API clients.

#GET/api/v1/me

Who am I. The account, plan, this token’s scopes and the limits that bound scenarios and runs.

Scope Any tokenPlan Every plan

Call this first. api_access says whether the token may write (full) or only read, validate and estimate (read); limits carries the plan ceilings a run body is checked against.

Scope scenarios:readPlan Every plan

The machine-readable contract for POST /scenarios and /scenarios/validate. An agent should read this before authoring instead of guessing field names. The same document is the MCP resource daishi://studio/scenario-schema.

#POST/api/v1/scenarios/validate

Validate a scenario. Dry run: the normalized definition, its content hash and the plan receipt. Nothing is saved.

Scope scenarios:readPlan Every plan

Send the body you would create. A valid body comes back normalized with its hash and a receipt: your plan’s ceilings and any warnings where a run of this definition would be refused today (plan_ticks, fixed_layout). Warnings do not block saving. An invalid body answers 400 with the field named in the message. Free tokens may call this.

Body

namestring, 2 to 60required
Display name, shown in the run builder under "Your scenarios".
descriptionstring, up to 300optional
What the scenario tests. Not part of the content hash.
season_ticksinteger 10 to 2000, or nulloptional
Season length. Null or omitted means the base default (300). Your plan caps what a run may use; validate reports that as a warning.
envobjectoptional
The environment. Every field is optional; an omitted field takes the base world default.
Show 6 child fields
seedintegeroptional
World seed: fixes the map. Omit to draw a fresh one per run; the drawn seed is recorded on the run.
spawn_seedintegeroptional
Fixes where the roster lands. Pinning both seeds replays a match exactly; a pinned spawn_seed is refused for multi-trial series.
turn_timeout_msinteger, 5000 to 300000optional
Milliseconds each agent gets to act per tick.
actions_per_turninteger, 1 to 5optional
Actions budgeted per agent per tick.
resourcesobjectoptional
Per resource (wood, stone, food, ore, relics): { max?, regen? } multipliers of the base world definition, 0 to 10, where 1 is the base.
anchorsstring[]optional
Baseline bot policy ids or one population id (expands to its members). [] means none. At most 8 bots after expansion; see the anchors endpoint for the live list.

Scope runs:readPlan Every plan

The same validation and receipts as a launch: plan ceilings, who funds each seat, the agent-turn reservation, the USD and wall-clock range for the whole batch, quota and queue headroom, and how much precision the trial count buys. A body a launch would refuse answers with the launch’s error code. Free tokens may call this.

Body

rosterobject[]required
One entry per seat. Your plan caps how many.
Show 9 child fields

season_ticksinteger 10 to 2000optional
Override the season length for this run, within the plan ceiling.
envobjectoptional
Per-run environment overrides, same fields as a scenario env.
Show 6 child fields
seedintegeroptional
World seed: fixes the map. Omit to draw a fresh one per run; the drawn seed is recorded on the run.

actions_per_turninteger, 1 to 5optional

Baseline bot policy ids or one population id (expands to its members). [] means none. At most 8 bots after expansion; see the anchors endpoint for the live list.
max_spend_usdnumberoptional
Spend cap for this run in USD, clamped to the plan range. A stop, not a hold: the run ends when it is reached.

#GET/api/v1/usage

Usage and allowances. The meter’s record of your runs and where the account stands against the plan this month.

Scope runs:readPlan Every plan

The same view the Studio’s Usage page reads. allowances carries the counters the run manager enforces with: agent turns used, held by queued runs and remaining, queued-run slots, the per-run spend cap, live access tokens and their per-minute ceiling. months, models and runs roll the meter up by UTC month, by model and per run, with spend split by who paid (your own key or the operator’s sponsorship). Invited seats on a peer’s own keys are counted as guest_seats and never metered.
