title: builds.sr.ht API reference
---

The builds.sr.ht API allows you to insert jobs, monitor their progress, and
access some information about the build system. Authentication to this API is
brokered by meta.sr.ht. This API uses standard sr.ht error responses. All
requests should be submitted via https://builds.sr.ht.

The following endpoints are available to users with an OAuth key valid for the
specified scope.

## POST /api/jobs
