Apps
API & SDK
The documentation hub inside App Studio: where the developer reference lives and what its cards cover.
API & SDK is a signpost, not a workspace: a static page that routes developers to the right part of the documentation on revenexx.dev.
Where you find it
App Studio › Extend and develop › API & SDK — /apps/api.
What it does
Three entry buttons — the external Developer Portal, the App Studio documentation, and Build your first app — followed by ten cards, one per documentation topic:
| Card | Covers |
|---|---|
| App model concept | The idea: five JSON files define an app. |
| Manifest reference | manifest.json — identity, permissions, dependencies. |
| Schema reference | schema.json — the app's data model. |
| Cockpit integration | cockpit.json — the screens an app contributes. |
| App SDK | @revenexx/app-sdk, including npx appsdk generate. |
| App lifecycle | SemVer versioning and the app.installed, app.upgraded, app.uninstalled events. |
| Billing & events | The pricing models an app can declare: free, paid, included. |
| CLI | The command-line tooling. |
| MCP server | Working with the platform from AI tooling. |
| API usage | Calling the platform API. |
