# Validate or adapt a Blueprint

> Validation without `blueprintId` is public, including requests with `adapt: true`; it returns findings and, when adapting, an adapted source. Supplying `blueprintId` always requires a bearer token so the server can inspect a saved bundle. This conditional authentication cannot be expressed per request shape, so this operation declares no OpenAPI security requirement.

  title: SandyWP API
  version: 0.1.0
  summary: Complete supported customer API for SandyWP automation.
  description: >
    This is the complete supported customer API for automating SandyWP
    sandboxes, reusable

    Templates and Blueprints, Imports, Workspaces, account credentials, and
    OAuth connection setup.

    It is the stable HTTP contract for developer integrations; browser,
    provider, and operations

    routes on the same host are deliberately not part of this document.


    **Exclusions ledger.** The specification excludes guest/launcher creation
    (`POST /api/sites`),

    account profile/avatar/password/support and GitHub UI handlers, billing
    checkout/portal/sync,

    public launch routes, plugin/theme search proxies, storage, activity
    telemetry, newsletter,

    health, metrics, impersonation, Slack/GitHub callbacks, Git/Polar webhooks,
    all `/api/admin/**`,

    and all `/api/internal/**` worker or SSH-control routes. Those endpoints are
    browser backends,

    provider callbacks, or operational control-plane interfaces rather than
    supported developer APIs.


    ## Conventions


    - Requests and responses are JSON. Send `Content-Type: application/json` on
    writes (the file
      upload and plugin-ZIP-upload endpoints instead use `multipart/form-data`, as noted on those
      operations).
    - Sandboxes and Templates are addressed by their opaque `id` in the API (for
    example
      `site_abc123`, `tpl_xyz789`).
    - Errors use a consistent envelope — see the `Error` schema. Some actions
    require a paid plan
      and fail with HTTP `402` and a specific error code (for example
      `template_sharing_requires_paid_plan`); each is called out on the operation that returns it.
    - **Async by default.** Provisioning and other slow sandbox mutations happen
    on a worker, not
      inline in the HTTP request. An endpoint that starts one either returns a `jobId` to poll (see
      the `Job` / `JobSummary` schemas and each operation's description), returns the resource in a
      non-terminal state (a site `"creating"`, a Template `"building"`) to re-fetch until it settles,
      or both.
    - A personal bearer token can call the authenticated operations below. A
    scoped OAuth token is
      accepted only by `GET /api/account/me` and the Imports family; it needs `import:read` or
      `import:write` for the matching import operation. Other REST operations treat scoped tokens
      as unauthenticated.
