## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.yaml delete /api/v0/team/
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Vast.ai API
  description: >-
    Vast.ai REST API for managing GPU cloud instances, machine operations, and
    AI/ML workflows.


    ## AI Agent Quick-Start


    Install the CLI skill for your agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
      npx skills add vast-ai/vast-cli

    CLI reference:
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vast-ai/vast-cli/master/vastai/SKILL.md

    SDK reference:
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vast-ai/vast-cli/master/vastai_sdk/SKILL.md


    ## Auth

    All endpoints require `Authorization: Bearer $VAST_API_KEY`.

    Get your key at: https://cloud.vast.ai/manage-keys/


    ## Key Quirks

    - `gpu_ram` in CLI = GB; in REST API = MB (CLI auto-converts)

    - SSH keys must be registered BEFORE creating an instance (VM: no recovery;
    Docker: can add post-create)

    - `onstart` field is limited to 4048 characters -- gzip+base64 for longer
    scripts

    - `POST /api/v0/asks/{id}/` (create instance) returns `new_contract` as the
    instance ID, not `id`

    - Poll trap: if `actual_status` becomes `exited`, `unknown`, or `offline` it
    will never reach `running` -- destroy and retry
