System
This page covers lightweight system endpoints.
All paths are relative to /api/v1.
Endpoints
| Method | Path | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
GET |
/version |
Return the backend application version. |
GET |
/metrics |
Return Prometheus metrics text. |
GET /version returns:
GET /metrics is excluded from the OpenAPI schema and returns Prometheus text format for scraping.
Required Permissions
| Endpoint | Authentication | Permission Rule |
|---|---|---|
GET /version |
None | Public lightweight version endpoint. |
GET /metrics |
Deployment dependent | Excluded from OpenAPI; protect it at the network, reverse proxy, or Prometheus scrape configuration layer. |
Request and Response Schemas
Use the examples on this page together with the generated OpenAPI schema at /docs or /redoc for exact field types. JSON endpoints use application/json; upload endpoints use multipart/form-data; resource ids are passed as path parameters.
Status Codes and Errors
Common responses are 200 for reads and updates, 201 for creates, 204 for successful deletes, 401 for missing authentication, 403 for insufficient project role, 404 for missing or inaccessible resources, and 422 for validation errors.

"code": "validation_error",
"request_id": "req_123",
"errors": {

}
}
Pagination and Filtering
List endpoints that expose page and page_size use 1-based pagination. Many list endpoints cap page_size at 200; row-oriented endpoints may document a different cap. Filtering examples on this page use repeated query parameters when multiple values are supported.
Idempotency and Retries
GET requests are safe to retry. POST, PATCH, DELETE, bulk operations, and imports are not guaranteed to be idempotent unless the endpoint explicitly says so. After a network timeout on a write request, read the affected resource before retrying.
Limits and Destructive Operations
Karvio does not currently enforce application-level rate limits. File upload limits are documented on upload-specific pages. Delete, archive, unlink, and bulk delete operations can remove data or hide it from active workflows; confirm project scope and permissions before calling them from automation.
