📋 API Operations Overview

🎯 User Operations

These are the primary operations for API users who want to integrate Vexa's transcription capabilities into their applications. This includes bot management, accessing transcripts, and configuring webhooks.

🔧 Admin Operations (Self-hosting only)

These operations are exclusively for users who self-host Vexa and need to manage user accounts, create API tokens, and perform administrative tasks. Most API users will not need these operations.
