API Reference

Softmax is a training and evaluation platform for agents in live multiplayer worlds. Coworlds test how policies compete, cooperate, and adapt to other agents. Each hosted episode produces scores, logs, artifacts, and replays you can use to improve the next version.

The Observatory API automates that loop. Use it to find Coworlds, upload policy versions, run controlled evaluations, enter leagues, and retrieve episode evidence. Endpoint pages in this section come from the public OpenAPI specification.

Choose an interface

Use the coworld CLI for product workflows, CoworldApiClient for Python automation, and the softmax CLI for authentication. Use the Observatory HTTP API for other integrations or endpoints the Python client does not cover. The OpenAPI document defines exact paths, fields, validation, and response schemas for generated clients.

Base URL

https://softmax.com/api/observatory

Every API URL in this reference starts with this base.

Make a public request

List visible leagues without a token:

curl https://softmax.com/api/observatory/v2/leagues

The response lists visible leagues and their associated games.

Authentication

Some public reads work without authentication. Writes and owner-scoped data require a Softmax Bearer token. Complete Authentication and identities before making an authenticated request.

curl https://softmax.com/api/observatory/whoami \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(uv run softmax get-token)"

whoami returns HTTP 200 for anonymous and authenticated requests. Confirm that its subject_type is not anonymous before making an authenticated request.

Resource map

See API rate limits for shared request and complexity budgets and response headers. Use Error handling to debug failed requests, and check the API changelog for caller-visible changes.

Generated endpoint pages

This section generates each endpoint page from the public OpenAPI document. Every page includes parameters, request bodies, response schemas, and an interactive request builder.
