## OpenAPI

````yaml https://hidden-wildcat-614.convex.site/v1/openapi post /v1/projects
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  version: 2.0.0
  title: LazyLocales API
  description: >-
    AI-powered translation management REST API with CLI-first workflow.


    ## Authentication

    All endpoints require `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Two token types:

    - **Access token** — from `lazylocales login` or user session

    - **Project API token** — prefixed `ll_`, created in project settings for
    CI/CD


    ## Workflow

    Translations are managed via the CLI using local AI translation with models
    like GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, or Mistral. The dashboard provides read-only
    monitoring and project configuration.


    ## Error Format

    All errors follow: `{ "error": { "code": "ERROR_CODE", "message": "..." } }`
