# Download an agent source



## OpenAPI

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Priors API
  description: >
    Priors gives you memory agents. An agent learns from the observations you
    send it and answers from what it learned.


    You call this API from your own backend with a partner API key. The key
    identifies your organization, which owns every agent, thread, observation,
    source, and memory it creates. Another organization receives 404 for those
    identifiers. Send `X-SP-End-User` alongside the key to act for one named
    person on your side.

      description: >
        The request is not one this route can act on, and sending it again
        unchanged does not help. Usually the payload: a field missing, or a
        value out of range.


        It is also the credential and the headers around it, and each of these
        is refused rather than ignored: `X-SP-End-User` sent empty, or longer
        than 255 characters; and a key on a request that carries
        `Sec-Fetch-Site`, which only a browser sets.


        `code` is `invalid_request` throughout. `error` says which of these it
        was.

    NotFound:
      description: >
        No such id, or it is not one this key reaches. It is never a 403, so a
        key cannot be used to learn which ids exist.

    ServiceUnavailable:
      description: >
        A required dependency could not complete the request. Distinct from a
        500 by design: the body's `code` is `service_unavailable`, which says
        the request may succeed on a later attempt, where `internal_error` says
        it will not.


        Check the code before retrying. The same 503 carries
        `service_not_configured` when a feature this route needs is not switched
        on for your organization. The transport failure is identical and the
        wait is not: that one answers the same on every attempt until we change
        the configuration. Contact us.

            Machine-readable condition. Branch on this rather than on the status
            where the two differ. All three of these can arrive as a 5xx and
            they want different handling: `service_unavailable` (503) is a
            dependency outage worth retrying, `service_not_configured` (503) is
            the same transport failure that retrying will NEVER clear because a
            feature is not switched on for your organization, and
            `internal_error` (500) is a defect that will fail the same way
            again. Known values: invalid_request, unauthorized, forbidden,
            payment_required, not_found, agent_not_found, thread_not_found,
            conflict, agent_quota_exceeded, duplicate_upload_in_progress,
            document_already_ingested, document_uploaded_elsewhere,
            agent_not_ready, payload_too_large, rate_limit_exceeded,
            service_unavailable, service_not_configured,
            answer_model_unavailable, internal_error, and the document codes an
            upload can return (unsupported_document, document_needs_ocr,
            encrypted_document, malformed_document, empty_document,
            document_too_large, document_too_complex, document_too_many_turns,
            document_too_many_pages, document_too_large_for_ocr,
            document_pages_unexpected, document_service_unavailable, ocr_busy,
            ocr_failed, ingestion_failed).


            answer_model_unavailable is a narrower `service_unavailable` (503):
            the model that writes the visible reply could not be reached after
            retries. It is worth its own code because it is the one dependency
            whose outage a caller may want to word differently -- the turn
            produced no answer at all, and retrying shortly is the right advice.


            agent_not_found and thread_not_found are narrower `not_found`s, sent
            so a client can tell WHICH resource vanished and recover accordingly
            without matching on the English message. Treat any unrecognised
            value as the status code's default meaning rather than rejecting the
            response.

      description: >
        Your API key, shaped `sp_<key_id>_<secret>`, sent as `Authorization:
        Bearer sp_...`. It identifies your organization, not a person. Your
        organization owns the agents, holds the credit, and is billed. Every key
        your organization holds reaches the same things, so you rotate a key by
        minting the new one, deploying it, and revoking the old one.


        Keep the key on your server. A request that carries a `Sec-Fetch-Site`
        header is refused with 400, because only a browser sets that header.
        Priors sends no CORS headers, so a browser blocks the call before it
        leaves the page. The secret is shown once when the key is minted and is
        stored only as a hash. A lost secret is replaced, never recovered.


        An administrator of your organization mints and revokes keys in the
        Priors application, under Settings. There is no endpoint for it: a key
        reaches your whole organization, so issuing one is an act of
        administration.
