Public-API

This component contains the Gitpod (Public) API.

⚠️ This API is currently in development and may change frequently before it reaches General Availability

API Structure

The API is structured into two packages:

  • stable
  • experimenetal

For each package, we provide different guarantees on compatiblity and evolution of the APIs.

Stable

APIs defined in the stable package provide the following guarantees:

  • Services, calls, types and fields are not removed without following a deprecation policy (TBD).
  • Services, calls, types fields are not renamed.
  • Non succesfull responses are described exhaustively.

Experimental

APIs in defined in the experimental package provide no guarantees. You should not rely on them for any functionality.
