Public API Surface
Consystence has one public programmatic entry point: the cell-direct /api
surface at an org’s own subdomain. {slug}.consystence.com CNAMEs directly to
the cell that hosts the org and serves both the
interactive, server-driven UI and the /api surface — this is what external
integrations and the CLI, the supported public client, call.
The API overview describes how the surface is grouped; the rendered
API reference documents the supported public (CLI-exposed)
endpoints.
A site is a path under the org (/sites/{code}), never a hostname — see
the org and site model for how organisations,
tenants, and sites nest.
The retired /v1 gateway
Section titled “The retired /v1 gateway”Earlier revisions of these docs described a future versioned gateway at
api.consystence.com/v1 — a reverse proxy that would have fronted the cells
with a flat, versioned public API. That surface was retired before it was
ever deployed, as a deliberate product decision: no deployment ever fronted
traffic with it, and the cells serve no /v1 routes. There is nothing to
migrate from — the host never existed in production.
If Consystence introduces a versioned public API in the future, it will arrive as a new, deliberate product decision with its own contract — not a revival of the retired design. Until then:
- Address all API traffic to
https://{slug}.consystence.com/api/.... - Authenticate per the authentication model — CIAM bearer,
tenant API key (
csk_), or site-PIN. - Treat the rendered API reference as the supported public endpoint catalogue.
