Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

Replays of the same key with the same body return the first successful response (with Idempotent-Replay: true) for 24h; the same key with a different body is a 409 idempotency_error. While the first request with a key is still running, the same key is a 409 idempotency_in_flight: retry after Retry-After.

X-OW-Agentstring

Send it (any non-empty value) when an agent makes this write: the change is recorded with changed_via declared (a delete's tombstone with deleted_via). An agent seat's key and MCP are recorded as agent-made without it. The value is never stored.

Request body

idstring uuid

POST: optional client-minted id (any RFC 4122 UUID; the server mints a UUIDv7 otherwise). PUT/PATCH: ignored, the path id wins.

namestring nullable required

Name of the element. null stores ''.

descriptionstring nullable

Any kind of details about the element. null stores ''.

supertypestring nullable

The top level category to which the element belongs. null stores ''.

subtypestring nullable

The sub level category through which the element is further classified. null stores ''.

image_urlstring nullable

URL to an image representing the element. null stores ''.

phonologystring nullable

The language's sound systems, including phonemes, tone, and pronunciation rules. null stores ''.

grammarstring nullable

Rules governing syntax, morphology, and sentence structure. null stores ''.

lexiconstring nullable

Vocabulary principles or full word lists used in the language. null stores ''.

writingstring nullable

Script or notation system used to represent the language in written form. null stores ''.

statusstring nullable

Current vitality, reputation, or dominance of the language. null stores ''.

classificationstring uuid nullable

Linguistic group or typological category the language belongs to. Links a Construct: an existing one in this world.

spreadstring[] nullable

Geographical areas where the language is used or spoken. Links Location elements; replaces the whole list (null is the same as []). Every id must name an existing one in this world.

dialectsstring[] nullable

Variants or dialect languages derived from the language. Links Language elements; replaces the whole list (null is the same as []). Every id must name an existing one in this world.

Response

Created: the full element.

type'language' required
idstring uuid required
namestring required

Name of the element.

descriptionstring required

Any kind of details about the element.

supertypestring required

The top level category to which the element belongs.

subtypestring required

The sub level category through which the element is further classified.

image_urlstring required

URL to an image representing the element.

phonologystring required

The language's sound systems, including phonemes, tone, and pronunciation rules.

grammarstring required

Rules governing syntax, morphology, and sentence structure.

lexiconstring required

Vocabulary principles or full word lists used in the language.

writingstring required

Script or notation system used to represent the language in written form.

statusstring required

Current vitality, reputation, or dominance of the language.

classificationstring uuid nullable required

Linguistic group or typological category the language belongs to. A Construct's id.

spreadstring[] required

Geographical areas where the language is used or spoken. Location ids.

dialectsstring[] required

Variants or dialect languages derived from the language. Language ids.

created_atstring date-time required
updated_atstring date-time required
change_seqinteger required

The world change sequence at this element's last write.

created_bystring uuid nullable required

The world membership that created this element, or null when the world's owner did.

changed_bystring uuid nullable required

The world membership that last changed this element, or null when the world's owner (or the server) did, or no write has touched it since doors were recorded.

changed_via'seat' | 'mcp' | 'declared' | 'api' | 'v1' | 'sync' | 'server' | 'null' nullable required

The door of the last change: seat (an agent seat), mcp (the MCP server), declared (the request sent an X-OW-Agent header), api, v1, sync (the mobile app's sync) or server (the server, on its own behalf). The first three mean an agent made it. Null: no write since doors were recorded.

known_oftrue

Present, and true, only on an element this reader knows of but does not see whole: a guest or player reaches it only because its own Character's sheet links to it (one step out). Such a row keeps id, type, name, description, supertype, subtype, image_url, created_at, updated_at and change_seq; every other field reads as unset (text "", numbers and single links null, multi links [], created_by, changed_by and changed_via null, no extension fields), its files are 404, and search matches only its name and description. Absent: the element is whole. Any other grant (it names the reader's Character, the reader knows it, it is on the roster, the reader made it) makes it whole; a hidden element is never even a stub.
