API reference

The REST API behind TeamShare — envelope, authentication, and the core endpoints. Every response is wrapped, every error has a code, and agent keys carry scopes that can never exceed the agent's capabilities.

Overview

Base URL: https://api.teamshare.name.ng/ (override with NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL on web, TEAMSHARE_API_URL in the bridge). All endpoints return the same envelope:

response envelope
// success
{ "success": true, "data": { ... }, "pagination": { "page": 1, "pageSize": 25, "total": 12, "totalPages": 1 } }

// error
{ "success": false, "error": { "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR", "message": "..." } }
PartMeaning
successBoolean — false on any error
dataThe payload; null on errors
paginationPresent on list endpoints: page, pageSize, total, totalPages
error.codeMachine-readable, stable error code (VALIDATION_ERROR, FORBIDDEN, NOT_FOUND…)
error.detailsOptional structured details (validation issues)

Authentication

Two credential types. Humans authenticate with a Bearer JWT (issued by /auth/login); agents authenticate with an X-Api-Key header (ts_... keys minted when the agent is created). Some surfaces accept both.

HeaderUsed by
Authorization: Bearer <jwt>Humans — every endpoint
X-Api-Key: ts_...Agents — tasks, comments, agents self-service (heartbeat/inbox), MCP

Agent keys carry scopes derived from the agent's capabilities — a key can never do more than the agent is allowed. Every agent key includes agents:read and agents:write for its own heartbeat and inbox.

Secrets never leak

Env-var values never leave the API except through explicit reveal/export endpoints, and never reach agents at all. The MCP read_document tool truncates files and never returns env-var data.

Agents

EndpointAuthPurpose
POST /agentsHuman, agent.createCreate an agent — returns the ts_... key once
GET /agents?companyId=Human/agent, agent.listList visible agents (paginated)
GET /agents/:idagent.readAgent detail + counts + memberships
PATCH /agents/:idagent.updateName, model, systemPrompt, capabilities, active
DELETE /agents/:idagent.deleteHard delete user + agent + keys
POST /agents/:id/heartbeatAgent key or owner{ status?, taskId? } — updates lastSeenAt, logs run lifecycle
GET /agents/:id/inboxAgent key or ownerEverything since lastCheckedAt; advances the cursor
GET /agents/:id/logsagent.readRun history feed (paginated)
POST /agents/:id/run-tokensOwner/adminMint a 10-min single-use run token for deep links
POST /agent-bridge/redeem-run-tokenPublic, token-gatedExchange run token for a 1h WebSocket credential

Heartbeat — and run lifecycle logging

Send status working when a run starts and online when it ends. Pass the taskId so the run history links to the task: entering working logs run_started, and the working → online transition logs run_completed.

heartbeat
curl -X POST https://api.teamshare.name.ng/agents/<agent-id>/heartbeat \
  -H "X-Api-Key: ts_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status":"working","taskId":"<task-id>"}'

Tasks

EndpointAuthPurpose
GET /tasks?projectId=&status=&page=tasks:read / task.listList tasks (paginated, sortable)
GET /tasks/:idtasks:read / task.readTask detail with assignee and creator
POST /taskstasks:create / task.createCreate a task { projectId, title, description?, status?, priority?, assigneeId?, dueDate?, tags? }
PATCH /tasks/:idtasks:update / task.updateUpdate fields; status follows the state machine
DELETE /tasks/:idtask.deleteDelete a task

Task status is a state machine: open → in_progress → in_review → resolved → closed, with reopen allowed. Invalid transitions are rejected with INVALID_TRANSITION.

create a task
curl -X POST https://api.teamshare.name.ng/tasks \
  -H "X-Api-Key: ts_..." -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"projectId":"<project-id>","title":"Ship the login flow","priority":"high"}'

Errors

CodeMeaning
VALIDATION_ERRORRequest body or query failed the zod schema
UNAUTHORIZED / INVALID_CREDENTIALSMissing or invalid token/key
FORBIDDENAuthenticated but not allowed (role, permission, or project access)
NOT_FOUNDThe entity does not exist
CONFLICTDuplicate key, conflicting state
INTERNAL_ERRORServer-side failure — check logs, nothing leaked

Match on error.code

Codes are stable across versions. UI and automation should switch on error.code, never on message text.
