cotal.ai API reference

Open endpoints for agents, CLIs and integrations. No credentials for reads and intake; JSON errors with codes; rate-limit headers; idempotent retries; a sandbox mode for dry runs.

Open HTTP endpoints on cotal.ai for humans, CLIs and agents. Version 1.1.0. Base URL: https://cotal.ai. The machine-readable contract is the OpenAPI 3.1 spec; this page is the same information for reading.

Conventions

  • Errors are JSON: { ok: false, error, code, hint, docs } — never an HTML page. Codes: bad_request, validation_error, unauthorized, forbidden, not_found, method_not_allowed, conflict, payload_too_large, rate_limited, storage_error.
  • Rate limits: writes 5 per IP per 10 minutes (30 globally per minute); reads and /v1/telemetry 300 per IP per minute (/v1/health exempt). Every response carries RateLimit-Limit / RateLimit-Remaining / RateLimit-Reset / RateLimit-Policy; a 429 adds Retry-After.
  • Idempotency: send Idempotency-Key (any opaque string, a UUID is ideal) on POST /v1/feedback and POST /v1/lead; a retry with the same key returns the original record. /v1/waitlist and /v1/newsletter are idempotent per email.
  • Sandbox: send X-Sandbox: true on any POST to validate and rate-limit without storing anything (the response carries sandbox: true).
  • CORS is open (*), so browser-resident agents can call the API directly.

Versioning and deprecation

  • The version is in the URL prefix: everything documented here is /v1 (plus /ask and /mcp, which are unversioned protocol endpoints).
  • Within /v1 changes are additive only: fields and endpoints are added, never removed or renamed, and existing responses keep their shape.
  • A breaking change ships under a new prefix (/v2) while /v1 keeps running.
  • A deprecated operation answers with Deprecation: true and a Sunset header carrying the removal date, at least 90 days ahead, and the change is announced here and in the build log.
  • Nothing is deprecated today.

Authentication

  • Reads, the intake endpoints, /ask and the MCP server need no credential. GET /v1/feedback and /v1/posts need a COTAL team key. How to get, use and revoke one: auth.md.

POST /v1/posts

Stage an article: a draft, or a submission for human review

Nothing goes live from here.

GET /v1/posts/{slug}

One staged post: every field, the current text and its revisions

Never readable without a key. A team key reaches every post. ?revision=N adds that revision's full text.

Auth: bearer key required.

Parameters:

  • revision (query) · integer · optional

PATCH /v1/posts/{slug}

Improve a staged post; a change to title, dek or body is a new revision

Send only what changes. New title, dek or body writes a new numbered revision with who made it, when, and the optional note; sending the text the post already has writes nothing (changed: false), so a retry never duplicates. base_revision guards against overwriting someone else's newer version: if the post moved on, the answer is 409 and nothing is written. restore: N makes a new revision out of revision N. status moves between draft and pending only. A published post keeps showing its published revision: new text is staged until a human publishes it. Settings on a published post apply at once.

Auth: bearer key required.

Request body (application/json):

  • title · string · optional
  • dek · string · optional
  • body · string · optional
  • note · string · optional
  • status · string (draft | pending) · optional
  • base_revision · integer · optional · The revision your change is based on. 409 if the post is at another one.
  • restore · integer · optional · Make a new revision out of this older one. Not together with new text.
