Reference overview
Base URL https://api.scispace.com/v1. Read conventions once; it covers auth, pagination,
idempotency, versioning, and headers so the resource pages do not repeat them.

Machine-readable spec
The OpenAPI 3.1 document is the field-level truth and is generated from the implementation:
https://docs.scispace.com/openapi.yaml. Use it to generate a client for any language, and prefer it
over these pages when the two disagree — then file the discrepancy at api-feedback@scispace.com.
An llms.txt index and a .md variant of every page are published at the same origin for coding
agents.
