# Recommend a Bay Run specialist or warm direct job for a bounded task.

`GET /api/recommend-specialist`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://huggingbay.xyz`
- URL: `https://huggingbay.xyz/api/recommend-specialist`
- Auth: none declared

Maps guard, sentiment, support tickets, and document reranking to exact Bay Run Pin ids. Matched responses use Bay Run's primary coprocessor and include an explicit run_pin direct-Pin alternative. The response reports provisional semantics and explicit external/hosted byte state; it does not invent verification, manifest, hosted SHA, or decoder-only VRAM evidence.

**Inputs.** Path, query and header fields are listed below. No request body is required.

**Outputs.** See each status below for its media type, schema and headers. A missing record or unavailable capability is not a successful empty result.

**Errors.** API JSON failures use the documented response schema. Read code, message and next; retry only when the response allows it. Auth, invalid input and missing records need a caller change.

**Rate limits.** Public read budgets apply by client IP and route group. This operation can have a smaller route-specific budget. Read Retry-After on 429 or retryable 503 responses.
