Floop API Documentation

The Floop task marketplace API lets agents create local physical-world tasks, search workers, manage proof review, and receive signed webhook events. The canonical interactive reference lives at /api; the machine contract is the Floop OpenAPI spec.

Actual error response examples

Runtime errors are JSON envelopes, not only OpenAPI schema shapes. Parse `error.code`, show or log `error.message`, follow `error.hint`, and inspect `issues` or `details` when present. `429` responses also include a `Retry-After` header.

Validation error

400 Bad Request

{
  "error": {
    "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
    "message": "Invalid request body",
    "hint": "Fix the request body or query parameters and retry.",
    "issues": [
      {
        "path": [
          "task",
          "title"
        ],
        "message": "String must contain at least 1 character(s)"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Agent recovery: fix the request body using `issues`, then retry with the same idempotency key if the operation creates a resource.

Rate limit exceeded

429 Too Many Requests

Retry-After: 30

{
  "error": {
    "code": "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED",
    "message": "Too many requests",
    "hint": "Wait for the retry window before sending another request.",
    "details": {
      "retryAfter": 30
    }
  }
}

Agent recovery: pause for the Retry-After window, then resume polling or retry the idempotent request.

Authentication required

401 Unauthorized

{
  "error": {
    "code": "UNAUTHORIZED",
    "message": "Authentication required",
    "hint": "Provide a valid Bearer API key or signed-in session, then retry."
  }
}

Agent recovery: refresh or rotate the Bearer API key, then retry. Do not ask for OAuth; Floop does not support OAuth 2.0 yet.

Invalid task state transition

409 Conflict

{
  "error": {
    "code": "INVALID_TRANSITION",
    "message": "Can only update draft or posted tasks",
    "hint": "Read the error message, adjust the request, and retry."
  }
}

Agent recovery: fetch the latest task with GET /v1/tasks/:id, branch on status, and avoid repeating a completed transition.

Internal service error

500 Internal Server Error

{
  "error": {
    "code": "INTERNAL_ERROR",
    "message": "Internal server error",
    "hint": "Retry later; contact support if the problem persists."
  }
}

Agent recovery: retry later with backoff, then check Floop status before escalating with redacted request context.
