# Rest Endpoints

Direct HTTP reference for Highflame's REST APIs. Use these when you need lower-level control, are working in a language without an SDK, or need a feature not yet surfaced by the SDK.

All SDKs (Python, TypeScript, Rust) are thin clients over these endpoints — so anything you can do via the SDK can also be done via REST.

* [**Shield REST APIs**](/api-reference/rest-endpoints/shield-rest-apis.md) — Endpoints for real-time AI guardrails: `POST /v1/guard`, `POST /v1/detect`, `GET /v1/detectors`, and `GET /v1/debug/policies`.

For ZeroID (agent identity) REST endpoints, see the [ZeroID OpenAPI spec](https://github.com/highflame-ai/zeroid) in the ZeroID repository.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.highflame.ai/api-reference/rest-endpoints.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
