Domino platform API intro
Applies to Domino 6.3 and Domino Cloud.
Read this skill first whenever you automate Domino over HTTP or the Python SDK.
Authentication
Follow https://docs.domino.ai/cloud/reference/api/domino-api-authentication for every call (API proxy in-run, access token + platform host, PAT, and service account).
Legacy user API keys (X-Domino-Api-Key, DOMINO_USER_API_KEY) are described as deprecated, never recommended. Product migration docs: https://docs.domino.ai/cloud/reference/api/domino-api-authentication#authenticate-with-an-api-key-legacy
| Context | Summary (details on the auth page) |
|---|---|
| In-run | Prefer DOMINO_API_PROXY with no Authorization header when set; else Bearer from http://localhost:8899/access-token on DOMINO_USER_HOST (or DOMINO_API_HOST) |
| Outside a run | Public deployment HTTPS URL + Bearer PAT (you) or service account (automation) |
Host selection (gateway, governance 404, WebVFS, inference) is separate from auth mode: HOSTS.md.
Reference files (this skill)
| File | Use when |
|---|---|
| HOSTS.md | Pick base URL (gateway, WebVFS, inference, governance external URL) |
| LIMITS.md | Pagination, caps, deprecated env names |
| ERRORS.md | Retries, 502/timeouts, job status fields, datasource 500 workaround |
| SDK-MAP.md | Which plugin skill or doc covers each surface |
| API-SPECS.md | OpenAPI files and route discovery |
Next steps
Use domain skills under skills/ (python-sdk, apps, governance, datasets, and others). They assume the auth and host rules above.
