# codex-api

Typed clients for Codex/OpenAI APIs built on top of the generic transport in `codex-client`.

- Hosts the request/response models and request builders for Responses and Compact APIs.
- Owns provider configuration (base URLs, headers, query params), auth header injection, retry tuning, and stream idle settings.
- Parses SSE streams into `ResponseEvent`/`ResponseStream`, including rate-limit snapshots and API-specific error mapping.
- Serves as the wire-level layer consumed by `codex-core`; higher layers handle auth refresh and business logic.

## Core interface

The public interface of this crate is intentionally small and uniform:

- **Responses endpoint**
  - Input:
    - `ResponsesApiRequest` for the request body (`model`, `instructions`, `input`, `tools`, `parallel_tool_calls`, reasoning/text controls).
    - `ResponsesOptions` for transport/header concerns (`conversation_id`, `session_source`, `extra_headers`, `compression`, `turn_state`).
  - Output: a `ResponseStream` of `ResponseEvent` (both re-exported from `common`).

- **Compaction endpoint**
  - Input: `CompactionInput<'a>` (re-exported as `codex_api::CompactionInput`):
    - `model: &str`.
    - `input: &[ResponseItem]` – history to compact.
    - `instructions: &str` – fully-resolved compaction instructions.
  - Output: `Vec<ResponseItem>`.
  - `CompactClient::compact_input(&CompactionInput, extra_headers)` wraps the JSON encoding and retry/telemetry wiring.

- **Memory summarize endpoint**
  - Input: `MemorySummarizeInput` (re-exported as `codex_api::MemorySummarizeInput`):
    - `model: String`.
    - `raw_memories: Vec<RawMemory>` (serialized as `traces` for wire compatibility).
      - `RawMemory` includes `id`, `metadata.source_path`, and normalized `items`.
    - `reasoning: Option<Reasoning>`.
  - Output: `Vec<MemorySummarizeOutput>`.
  - `MemoriesClient::summarize_input(&MemorySummarizeInput, extra_headers)` wraps JSON encoding and retry/telemetry wiring.

All HTTP details (URLs, headers, retry/backoff policies, SSE framing) are encapsulated in `codex-api` and `codex-client`. Callers construct prompts/inputs using protocol types and work with typed streams of `ResponseEvent` or compacted `ResponseItem` values.
