Surface registry index — the queryable exposure ledger

GET
/api/v2/surface
curl --request GET \
--url https://crate.hosaka.fm/api/v2/surface \
--header 'X-API-Key: <X-API-Key>'

Cycle-096 (carrefour#135): every generic cluster-keyed producer surface crate exposes, with its shape — grain, key (column + keyspace + wire format), keyset (pagination seek columns; null for cluster-row grain), cap, liveness, coverage_note, and advisory semantics. Since 2.20.0 (carrefour#139 Phase-1) each row also carries the producer-authored semantics facade (scope, scale bands, honest limits, caveats — verbatim at pin; null until authored) and a dictionary_url pointer to the fleet substrate dictionary. Read this before calling GET /api/v2/surface/{name} — it is the complete input contract for that call. Keyed (X-API-Key); pure/static (no DB checkout).

The surface registry ledger.

Media type application/json
object
object
required
string
Allowed values: surface.index
surfaces
required
Array<object>

One registry row — the complete input contract for calling GET /api/v2/surface/{name} on it.

object
name
required

Schema-qualified registry key — pass verbatim as {name} to GET /api/v2/surface/{name}.

string
producer
required

Owning fleet repo (hosaka-fm/).

string
enabled
required

Crate-side kill switch for this row. false → GET /api/v2/surface/{name} 404s naming the disable (independent of the producer’s own kill flag).

boolean
grain
required

Cluster-row = one row, no paging (cap 1/1); cluster-multirow/cluster-edge-list page via the keyset.

string
Allowed values: cluster-row cluster-multirow cluster-edge-list
key

object
column
required
string
type
required
string
Allowed values: bytea
keyspace
required

Which 64-hex identity keyspace ?cluster= must be drawn from. The keyspaces are disjoint; a key from the wrong one fails soft as an empty honest_gap, never an error.

string
Allowed values: pe-norm-v1-artist pe-norm-v1-recording pe-norm-v1-label
wire
required
string
Allowed values: hex64
keyset
required

Pagination seek columns for ?after=; null for cluster-row grain (a single-row lookup, never paged).

string
Allowed values: populated advisory empty
semantics
required

Producer-authored semantics facade (carrefour#139 Phase-1), copied VERBATIM from the producer contract at the pinned sha: audience_blurb, scale_bands, honest_limits, caveats, clock_class, formula_protected, as_of. Formula-protected by construction — crate refuses formula-leaking entries at acceptance. null until the producer authors a block (facades land per-surface as producers publish them).

object | null
dictionary_url
required

The fleet substrate dictionary (wintermute-compiled, carrefour#139): fleet chapters (clock classes, alias screening, k-anon, grain vocabulary) + producer semantics entries rendered verbatim at pins. One URL for the whole registry — crate-served at GET /api/v2/semantics/dictionary (OQ-4: crate proxies the org-visible producer doc so external consumers can read it).

Internal server error

Media type application/json

The error envelope for all 4xx/5xx responses. error is the only guaranteed field — branch on it, never on HTTP status alone. An unresolved/empty lookup is NOT an error: it returns HTTP 200 with present:false / a null field / state:"honest_gap".

object
error
required

Machine-readable error code (stable lowercase snake_case). The ONLY field guaranteed on every error body — switch on it programmatically, never on HTTP status alone (several codes share a status). See the code table in this schema’s description.

string
message

One-sentence human-readable statement of WHAT is wrong (developer-facing). Present only for catalogued codes. Describes the violated rule — not a fix (see hint/next).

string
hint

Actionable remediation in human terms — what to DO next, often naming the exact endpoint (a template with ). The human counterpart to the machine-actionable next.

string
doc_url

Deep link to this code’s docs: https://crate.hosaka.fm/docs/api#error-. Auto-populated for catalogued codes.

string
param

The specific request parameter that caused the failure (e.g. “key”, “q”), so a client can point at the offending input. Present only when the code declares one.

string
next

A copy-pasteable, fully-formed corrected call (a concrete URL, NOT a template) an agent can fire verbatim to recover — the machine-actionable counterpart to hint. Present only when a handler supplies one.

string
details

Structured validation breakdown — on Zod 400s (invalid_query), an array of { path, message }, one per failed field. Present only when validation specifics are attached.

Array
retry_after_seconds

On a 429 rate_limited response, seconds to wait before retrying (mirrors the Retry-After header). Sleep at least this long, then re-issue the identical request.

number
master_id

Echoed on master_not_found (404) — the master id that did not resolve.
