Inspect.dev API documentation and OpenAPI - Inspect Documentation

The official Inspect.dev HTTP API supports release discovery, OAuth compatibility, account subscriptions, and billing. Mobile browser debugging itself runs locally through the Inspect CLI.

Machine-readable Inspect API contract

Inspect API conventions

Send Inspect-Version: 2026-08-06, or omit it to use the current version.
Errors use stable code, message, and recovery hint fields.
List endpoints use opaque cursors and return next-page state.
Responses advertise rate limits; HTTP 429 includes Retry-After.
Retriable billing writes accept Idempotency-Key.

Authentication

Inspect uses OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code with PKCE through Clerk. See the Inspect authentication documentation and least-privilege permission matrix.

Use the CLI for local device and browser actions. Do not invent cloud API endpoints for snapshots, console messages, network requests, or screenshots.
