changex-api 0.1.8

ChangeX HTTP/REST API: a thin FastAPI wrapper over the changex-core spine so any app or model — local/offline LLMs, or a ChatGPT custom GPT Action consuming /openapi.json — can open, edit, save, and review tracked Word documents over HTTP.

changex-api

A thin HTTP/REST API over the ChangeX core spine, so any app or model can drive provenance-first tracked editing of Word documents over plain HTTP — a local/offline LLM with no function-calling, a curl script, or a ChatGPT custom GPT Action that imports the auto-generated OpenAPI schema.

It wraps changex-core and reuses the exact MCP tool semantics (changex-mcp): an op discriminator selects one small intent, the exact before substring is always carried so blind overwrites are refused, and an oversized op is rejected so the model splits the change.

Run

# install (workspace) and launch on 127.0.0.1:8000
uv sync
changex-api                     # or: python -m changex_api
# custom bind / port:
changex-api --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9000   # non-local host REQUIRES a token:
CHANGEX_API_TOKEN=secret changex-api --host 0.0.0.0

Bind is 127.0.0.1 by default. A non-local host is refused unless CHANGEX_API_TOKEN is set; when it is, every non-/healthz route requires Authorization: Bearer <token>.

Endpoints

Method & path	Purpose
POST /sessions	Open a .docx for tracked editing (returns a handle).
GET /sessions/{handle}/outline	Bounded, paginated paragraph outline (discover node_ids).
POST /sessions/{handle}/edit	One small, intent-named tracked edit.
POST /sessions/{handle}/save	Write the native-revisions .docx + .changex journal.
GET /sessions/{handle}/changes	The structured provenance journal.
POST /open	Passive (no-tool-calling) capture: snapshot a docx.
POST /seal	Diff the edited docx vs the baseline; append passive ops.
POST /report	Render an HTML/markdown redline (by handle or .changex path).
GET /healthz	Liveness probe (never requires auth).

OpenAPI / function-calling schemas

FastAPI serves the schema at /openapi.json — that file IS the ChatGPT custom GPT Action schema; point a GPT's Action import at it. Static copies plus OpenAI/Gemini function-calling schemas live in the repo's integrations/:

• integrations/openapi.json — the dumped OpenAPI 3.1 schema (ChatGPT Actions).
• integrations/openai-functions.json — OpenAI tools format.
• integrations/gemini-functions.json — Gemini functionDeclarations format.
