openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Ornn compute API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Customer HTTP API for Ornn GPU capacity. It covers reserved capacity and
    nodes, VM and Bare Metal access, Kubernetes and Slurm clusters, SSH keys,
    storage volumes and GitHub repositories, private networks, monitoring,
    buying and selling capacity (Reserve, Market, Spot, and Relist), and
    billing. API keys are scoped to one organization and act with their
    creator's access there; account, team, and API-key management stay in the
    console. Most operations require an approved organization. See
    https://docs.ornn.com/api-keys to create a key and
    https://docs.ornn.com/guides/kubernetes-api for an end-to-end Kubernetes
    integration. Examples use fictional IDs and credentials. The info.version
    field identifies the contract revision, not a shared API path version.

    description: >-
      Register public keys for your organization, choose which keys a VM or Bare
      Metal reservation uses, and queue key delivery to machines. Slurm clusters
      take organization key IDs at launch. Kubernetes API access does not use
      SSH keys.

      Hourly order books for VMs with 1, 2, 4, or 8 GPUs on one node: read
      books, trades, and quotes, place and cancel bids, and follow fills.
  - name: Relist
    description: >-
      Sell whole nodes from a reservation you hold at your asking price, and
      manage those listings.
  - name: Storage
    description: >-
      Managed volumes, their files, and GitHub repository pulls. Volumes belong
