  title: Everabyte Storage API
  version: '2026.10'
  summary: Company-scoped storage API authenticated with API keys.
  description: >-
    The Everabyte storage API for company workspaces. Every operation here is
    reachable with an API key and has been verified against route registration
    and controller behavior.


    Authentication uses two headers: `X-Public-Key` and `X-Secret-Key`. API-key
    headers are not CORS-allowed, so this API is for server-side use only.


    Response shapes vary by layer. Success responses use `{status, message,
    data}`. Middleware errors use `{status, message, data, code}`. Controller
    errors use `{status, message, error}`. See the Conventions page for details.


    All examples are illustrative. Identifiers, sizes, and timestamps are
    placeholders, not production data.
