+# API Specs
+
+## Repository api: `/repositories`
+
+### Resolve
+
+Get file or directory content from local repositories
+
+**URL:** `/repositories/{name}/resolve/{path}`
+
+**Method:** `GET`
+
+**Request examples:**
+
+- Get directory content
+
+```shell
+curl --request GET \
+  --url http://localhost:8080/repositories/https_github.com_TabbyML_tabby.git/resolve/
+
+curl --request GET \
+  --url http://localhost:9090/repositories/https_github.com_TabbyML_tabby.git/resolve/ee/tabby-webserver/
+```
+
+- Get file content
+
+```shell
+curl --request GET \
+  --url http://localhost:8080/repositories/https_github.com_TabbyML_tabby.git/resolve/package.json
+
+curl --request GET \
+  --url http://localhost:9090/repositories/https_github.com_TabbyML_tabby.git/resolve/ee/tabby-webserver/src/api.rs
+```
+
+**Response examples:**
+
+- All directory query will return a list of string, with each string represents an entry under that directory. The `Content-Type` for directory query is `application/vnd.directory+json`.
+
+For `/repositories/https_github.com_TabbyML_tabby.git/resolve/ee/tabby-webserver/`, the response is:
+
+```json
+{
+  "entries": [
+    "ee/tabby-webserver/src",
+    "ee/tabby-webserver/ui",
+    "ee/tabby-webserver/examples",
+    "ee/tabby-webserver/Cargo.toml",
+    "ee/tabby-webserver/graphql"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+- The file query will return file content, the `Content-Type` will be guessed from the file extension.
+
+For request `/repositories/https_github.com_TabbyML_tabby.git/resolve/package.json`, the content type is `application/json`, and the response is:
+
+```json
+{
+  "private": true,
+  "workspaces": [
+    "clients/tabby-agent",
+    "clients/vscode",
+    "clients/vim",
+    "clients/intellij"
+  ],
+  "engines": {
+    "node": ">=18"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+For request `/repositories/https_github.com_TabbyML_tabby.git/resolve/ee/tabby-webserver/src/api.rs`, the content type is `text/x-rust`, and the response is:
+
+```text
+use async_trait::async_trait;
+use juniper::{GraphQLEnum, GraphQLObject};
+use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
+use tabby_common::api::{
+    code::{CodeSearch, CodeSearchError, SearchResponse},

+pub enum WorkerKind {
+    Completion,
+    Chat,
+}
+
+......omit......
+```
+
+### Meta
+
+Get dataset entry for each indexed file in the repository
+
+**URL:** `/repositories/{name}/meta/{path}`
+
+**Method:** `GET`
+
+**Request example:**
+
+```shell
+curl --request GET \
+  --url http://localhost:9090/repositories/https_github.com_TabbyML_tabby.git/meta/ee/tabby-webserver/src/lib.rs
+```
+
+**Response example:**
+
+The `Content-Type` for successful response is always `application/json`.
+
+```json

+  "git_url": "https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby.git",
+  "filepath": "ee/tabby-webserver/src/lib.rs",
