Public API

The read-only public API v1 of AENET Cloud Public. It serves public status, time, architecture, development queue, roadmap and early access — with a strictly bounded surface.

Architecture layers

  • L2 Public Application (router)
  • L4 Public Service (API)

Inputs

  • Public-data snapshots and services (status, time, architecture, queue, roadmap, early access)

Outputs

  • JSON responses with a consistent envelope; registration tickets for early access (D1)

Public interfaces

  • GET /api/v1/status
  • GET /api/v1/time
  • GET /api/v1/architecture
  • GET /api/v1/development-queue
  • GET /api/v1/roadmap
  • POST /api/v1/early-access/register

Security boundary

Read-only and bounded. Preview and private routes return 403. No authentication, no write channels beyond the early-access registration path, no core access.

Data direction

Public snapshots → API responses (read). Early-access registration → D1 (the only write path, never to the core).

What

Expose public-safe, read-only data in a structured JSON contract while keeping every private route out of reach.

Why

Visitors and developers need machine-readable public data without any path to private or internal systems. The Public API solves this with a v1 contract, an envelope and forbidden/private route controls.

How

Public snapshots → API responses (read). Early-access registration → D1 (the only write path, never to the core).

  • Serve GET /api/v1/status
  • Serve GET /api/v1/time
  • Serve GET /api/v1/architecture
  • Serve GET /api/v1/development-queue
  • Serve GET /api/v1/roadmap
  • Serve GET /api/v1/early-access/register (POST registration)
  • Reject preview/private routes with 403
  • Enforce a consistent API envelope

Example

A developer calls GET /api/v1/time and receives the versioned envelope {ok, schema, requestId, issuedAt, data} — read-only, no authentication, no core access.

Inputs

  • Public-data snapshots and services (status, time, architecture, queue, roadmap, early access)

Outputs

  • JSON responses with a consistent envelope; registration tickets for early access (D1)

Lifecycle

  • v1 contract
  • envelope
  • route controls
  • openapi.public.json documentation

Use cases

  • A developer reads the public API contract and examples
  • A visitor checks public status and time through the API
  • A person registers for early access

Limitations

  • Read-only by design — no write API beyond early access
  • No API keys are issued (keyIssuanceDisabled)
  • Preview routes are intentionally unavailable
  • Internal schemas and private routes are never published
