Endpoints API Toolkit

Setup

Install dependencies:

cd scripts && npm install

Configure credentials by creating a .env file in the project root:

ENDPOINTS_API_URL=
ENDPOINTS_API_KEY=ep_your_api_key_here

Prerequisites: An Endpoints account with an API key. Generate your API key from the [API Keys page]().

Quick Start

User says

Function to call

"List my endpoints"	listEndpoints()
"Show endpoint details for /job-tracker/january"	getEndpoint('/job-tracker/january')
"Scan this document"	scanFile('/path/to/file.pdf', 'job tracker')
"Scan this text"	scanText('Meeting notes...', 'meeting tracker')
"Create an endpoint for receipts"	createEndpoint('/receipts/2026')
"Delete the old endpoint"	deleteEndpoint('/category/slug')
"Remove that item"	deleteItem('abc12345')
"Get the file URL"	getFileUrl('userid/path/file.pdf')
"Check my usage"	getStats()

Execute functions by importing from scripts/src/index.ts:

import { listEndpoints, scanText, getStats } from './scripts/src/index.js';

const categories = await listEndpoints();
const result = await scanText('Meeting with John about Q1 goals', 'meeting tracker');
const stats = await getStats();

Or run directly with tsx:

npx tsx scripts/src/index.ts

Workflow Pattern

Every analysis follows three phases:

1. Analyze

Run API functions. Each call hits the Endpoints API and returns structured data.

2. Auto-Save

All results automatically save as JSON files to results/{category}/. File naming patterns:

• Named results: {sanitized_name}.json
• Auto-generated: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS__{operation}.json

3. Summarize

After analysis, read the saved JSON files and create a markdown summary in results/summaries/ with data tables, insights, and extracted entities.

High-Level Functions

Function

Purpose

What it returns

listEndpoints()	Get all endpoints by category	Tree structure with categories and endpoints
getEndpoint(path)	Get endpoint details	Full metadata (old + new items)
scanText(text, prompt)	Scan text with AI	Extracted entities and endpoint path
scanFile(filePath, prompt)	Scan file with AI	Extracted entities and endpoint path
getStats()	Get usage statistics	Parses used, limits, storage

Individual API Functions

For granular control, import specific functions. See references/api-reference.md for the complete list with parameters, types, and examples.

Endpoint Functions

Function

Purpose

listEndpoints()	List all endpoints organized by category
getEndpoint(path)	Get full endpoint details with metadata
createEndpoint(path)	Create a new empty endpoint
deleteEndpoint(path)	Delete endpoint and all associated files

Scanning Functions

Function

Purpose

scanText(text, prompt)	Scan text content with AI extraction
scanFile(filePath, prompt)	Scan file (PDF, images, docs) with AI

Item Functions

Function

Purpose

deleteItem(itemId)

Delete a single item by its 8-char ID

File Functions

Function

Purpose

getFileUrl(key)

Get presigned S3 URL for a file

Billing Functions

Function

Purpose

getStats()

Get usage stats (parses, storage, tier)

Data Structures

Living JSON Pattern

Endpoints use the Living JSON pattern for document history:

{
  endpoint: { path, category, slug },
  metadata: {
    oldMetadata: { ... },  // Historical items
    newMetadata: { ... }   // Recent items
  }
}

Metadata Item

Each item has:

• 8-character ID - Unique identifier (e.g., abc12345)


• summary - AI-generated description


• entities - Extracted entities (people, companies, dates)


• filePath - S3 URL if file was uploaded


• fileType - MIME type


• originalText - Source text

Error Handling

Status

Meaning

401	Invalid or missing API key
404	Endpoint or item not found
409	Endpoint already exists
429	Usage limit exceeded

Examples

List and Inspect

// Get all endpoints
const { categories } = await listEndpoints();
console.log(`Found ${categories.length} categories`);

// Inspect specific endpoint
const details = await getEndpoint('/job-tracker/january');
console.log(`Total items: ${details.totalItems}`);

Scan Documents

// Scan text content
const result = await scanText(
  'Email from John Smith at Acme Corp about the Q1 contract renewal',
  'business contacts'
);
console.log(`Created endpoint: ${result.endpoint.path}`);

// Scan a PDF file
const fileResult = await scanFile('./invoice.pdf', 'invoice tracker');
console.log(`Extracted ${fileResult.entriesAdded} items`);

Check Usage

const stats = await getStats();
console.log(`Parses: ${stats.parsesUsed}/${stats.parsesLimit}`);
console.log(`Storage: ${stats.storageUsed} bytes`);
