Getting Started
One API for web and mobile: where it lives, how to get the spec, and generating a typed client.
Everything a mobile client needs to talk to the Super People API. The mobile app uses the same API as the web app — there is no separate mobile backend and no separate set of routes. What differs is only how the session is carried: the web app rides a cookie, the mobile app holds a bearer token.
- Interactive reference (always current):
GET /api/v1/docs - Machine-readable spec:
GET /api/v1/openapi.json(or.yaml)
Generate a typed client from the spec rather than hand-writing models:
# Kotlin / Swift / Dart — pick your generator
npx @openapitools/openapi-generator-cli generate \
-i http://localhost:3101/api/v1/openapi.json -g kotlin -o ./generatedIf you would rather work from a file than a running server, ask the backend team
for a snapshot — npm run openapi:export -w api writes one. It is deliberately
not committed to the repo: a checked-in copy goes stale the moment a route
changes, and the endpoint above is always current.
Maintainers: every page under API Reference is generated from that spec by
npm run docs:api -w api. Do not hand-edit them — change the@ApiOperation/@ApiPropertydecorators inapps/api/src/and regenerate. The guides are hand-written and safe to edit.
Environments
| Base URL | |
|---|---|
| Local | http://localhost:3101 |
| Production | https://api-peoples.superlabs.co |
Every route in the API Reference is relative to that base URL. All paths start with /api/v1.
On Android, a debug build talking to a developer machine needs
http://10.0.2.2:3101 (emulator) and a cleartext-traffic exemption; production
is HTTPS only.
Validate a base URL before you have a token:
GET /api/v1/health{ "status": "ok", "version": "1.0", "time": "2026-09-10T07:16:23.096Z" }This is the only route that needs no session. Everything else answers 401 without one — which is why it exists: a wrong base URL and an expired session otherwise look identical.
Where to go next
- Authentication, then the API Reference for the module you are building, is enough to start.
- Conventions, Media and The Content Model are the rules that will otherwise bite you.
