API Overview

Use the Chyper API to automate tenant workflows and connect external systems.

When to Use the API​

  • Automate project lifecycle actions.
  • Sync data with internal systems.
  • Trigger platform workflows from external events.
  • Build custom internal portals around tenant operations.

Step 1: Confirm API Access​

  1. Verify your role includes API access.
  2. Confirm required scopes with your tenant admin.
  3. Identify which environments are allowed for automation.

Step 2: Collect Integration Inputs​

Prepare these values:

  • API base URL from your tenant admin settings.
  • API credential with least-privilege scopes.
  • Target workspace/project IDs from approved UI surfaces.

Step 3: Make Your First Read Call​

curl "$CHYPER_API_BASE/projects" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CHYPER_API_KEY"

Expected result: list of projects visible to that credential scope.

Step 4: Add a Safe Write Workflow​

  1. Start with non-destructive operations.
  2. Add explicit request validation in your integration code.
  3. Log request IDs and key outcomes.
  4. Roll out write operations gradually.

Step 5: Production Hardening​

  • Add retries with backoff for transient failures.
  • Enforce timeout and circuit-breaker behavior.
  • Monitor errors and unusual write patterns.
  • Rotate credentials regularly.
  1. Read-only sync.
  2. Controlled write operations.
  3. Event-driven automation.
  4. Cross-system orchestration.
