About this skill

Use this skill for SpacetimeDB HTTP route behavior and request construction.

Core HTTP patterns

  • Most HTTP endpoints accept Authorization: Bearer <token>. Without it, database endpoints usually allocate or use an anonymous identity with public-table access only.
  • POST /v1/identity returns { "identity": string, "token": string }.
  • POST /v1/database/:name_or_identity/call/:reducer invokes a reducer or procedure. The request body is a JSON array of arguments.
  • POST /v1/database/:name_or_identity/sql runs one or more SQL statements separated by ; and returns JSON statement results with schema and rows.
  • GET /v1/database/:name_or_identity/schema?version=... returns RawModuleDef JSON and maps to spacetime describe.
  • GET /v1/database/:name_or_identity/logs requires database ownership and maps to spacetime logs.
  • WebSocket subscriptions use /v1/database/:name_or_identity/subscribe with the v1.bsatn.spacetimedb or v1.json.spacetimedb subprotocol; prefer SDKs unless building custom tooling.

Request cautions

  • Management endpoints are primarily for tooling, debugging, and administration; use SDK WebSocket clients for normal app traffic.
  • Anonymous HTTP reducer calls pass an anonymous identity to ReducerContext; module auth logic may reject them.
  • HTTP SQL sees only public rows for anonymous callers and is subject to RLS.
  • Route SQL syntax to spacetimedb-sql before writing non-trivial query strings.

Authorization headers and ping references/http-authorization.md
Database endpoints references/http-database.md
Identity endpoints references/http-identity.md

Guidance

  • Include the required bearer token behavior when giving endpoint examples.
  • Route SQL syntax questions to spacetimedb-sql.
  • Route SDK connection questions to spacetimedb-clients.
