Read-only SQL API

A read-only SQL API lets agents query public corpus tables over HTTPS with an API key, returning JSON rows.

Definition

Scry accepts bounded SQL over HTTPS and returns JSON rows from public corpus surfaces. The query path is for reading records, joins, and aggregates.

Why it matters

  • UseAgents can use SQL over HTTPS with an API key.
  • UseQueries remain inspectable and repeatable.
  • UseLimits and validation keep exploratory work bounded.

Keep in mind

  • NoteUse LIMIT while exploring so responses stay bounded.
  • NoteTreat the endpoint as a query interface for read-only SQL.
