Develop
Develop covers the API-consumer surface — REST API, webhooks, connector SDK, AI-assisted development workflow, status page, rate limits.
1 min read
Develop is the section for integrators and contributors — anyone wiring Tale into another system, building on top of the API, or shipping a change to the source. The pages here describe the external surface (REST, webhooks, OpenAI-compatible endpoints) and the contributor workflow.
If you are inside the product as a Developer-role user (building agents, workflows, custom tools), the Platform tab covers your day to day; Develop is for when you are outside the product, talking to it across the wire.
Prefer to watch first? The bonus episode walks the developer surface — keys, APIs, webhooks, harnesses — in two minutes.
Pages in this section
API reference
Endpoints, authentication, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, error model, versioning.
Webhooks
Outbound (Tale → you) and inbound (you → Tale), signing, idempotency, retries.
AI-assisted development
Using Tale agents to author Tale workflows, the .agents/ skill files.
Connectors
Third-party connectors from a developer perspective.
Status page
Cloud incident reporting, self-hosted metrics pointers.
Rate limits
Per-key, per-IP, per-org limits and how to interpret 429s.
Where this fits
Develop is the smallest section because most users never need it; the audience is concentrated in two roles (in-product Developer, out-of-product contributor) but it is load-bearing for both. If you are wiring something external to Tale, API reference is the first read; if you are contributing to the source, Contributing — under the Self-hosted tab — is.
