  title: Ara API
  version: 3.0.0
  description: >-
    The Ara HTTP API. Drive cloud software-engineering agents: open sessions
    against your repositories, stream their work, and manage the secrets,
    knowledge, skills, and automations they run with.


    All requests authenticate with an `ara_` API key sent as a bearer token.
    Every resource is scoped to an organization; resolve your `org_id` once with
    `GET /v3/self`.
