Section 1: API Guide

Overview of the VibeMap API conceptual framework.

The VibeMap API provides a powerful interface for programmatically interacting with the AI-driven project management engine. This guide moves beyond endpoint definitions to explain the conceptual framework, common integration patterns, and best practices for building on top of VibeMap.

Why Use the VibeMap API?

While the VibeMap Dashboard offers a rich visual experience, the API enables several advanced use cases:

  • Custom Scaffolding: Automatically trigger project creation from your own internal product discovery tools.

  • Data Synchronization: Sync user stories and features with your internal issue trackers (e.g., Jira, Linear).

  • Custom Analysis: Fetch generated personas and schemas to feed into your own internal design or development pipelines.

  • Batch Operations: Rapidly update or migrate large sets of project data.

API Philosophy

The VibeMap API is built around three core pillars:

  1. Structured Data: Every artifact—from a high-level project summary to a granular acceptance criterion—is treated as a first-class object with strict validation.

  2. AI-First Workflows: The API is designed to support the multi-stage nature of AI generation (Prompt -> Summary -> Personas -> Features).

  3. Developer Ergonomics: We prioritize standard HTTP methods, predictable response formats, and clear error messaging.
