📝 Walkthrough

The API documentation workflow now fetches engine release assets and a Cloud OpenAPI specification into separate directories. It generates separate Mintlify files, updates validation and navigation paths, and commits engine and Cloud outputs independently.

Changes: OpenAPI asset workflow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Asset fetching and Cloud specification `assets/cloud-assets/...`, `scripts/fetch-assets.mjs`, `scripts/fetch-meilisearch-release-assets.mjs`, `package.json`, `.claude/commands/update-api-ref.md`	The new `fetch-assets` script downloads engine release assets and optionally fetches and validates the Cloud OpenAPI specification. The previous fetch script was removed.
OpenAPI generation and validation `scripts/generate-mintlify-openapi.mjs`, `scripts/check-*.mjs`, `.github/workflows/openapi-code-samples-check.yml`	The generator accepts JSON and YAML inputs, adds code samples only when requested, and writes format-preserving Mintlify outputs. Validation scripts and checks now use the engine asset path.
Reference and navigation wiring `config/navigation.json`, `reference/api/openapi.mdx`, `changelog/changelog.mdx`	Existing API references use `assets/engine-release-assets`, and navigation adds the generated Cloud API reference.
Deployment generation and commits `.github/workflows/post-deployment.yml`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `.claude/commands/update-api-ref.md`	Deployment fetches both asset types, validates Cloud and generated specifications, and commits engine and Cloud outputs separately. Documentation describes the split generation flow.
Generated OpenAPI asset updates `assets/cloud-assets/meilisearch-cloud-openapi-mintlify.yaml`, `assets/engine-release-assets/meilisearch-openapi-mintlify.json`	The Cloud Mintlify specification defines the authenticated identity endpoint. The engine example uses `Precedence` and named `Query` and `Time` conditions.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e5787

Generated API documentation can retain unintended null example metadata, and a contributor instruction violates the project’s writing rules. Both issues are narrow and mergeable with owner awareness, but should be corrected.

OpenAPI” to replace the em dash with a colon or separate sentence, preserving
the existing instructions.

In `@scripts/generate-mintlify-openapi.mjs`:
- Line 313: Update the DATA_KEYS handling in the traversal logic around
DATA_KEYS so the examples map is traversed by named Example Objects rather than
skipped as a complete subtree. Remove examples from the keys treated as payload
data, continue skipping each Example Object’s value payload, and allow metadata
such as a null description to be processed and removed.

The script now takes the source OpenAPI file as argument (JSON or YAML) and only injects code samples when --with-code-samples is passed. The Cloud API reference is now generated from a Mintlify-ready file, like the engine one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Example and default values are excluded from the cleaning: a description field inside them is payload data (e.g. an API key's null description in a response example), not OpenAPI metadata. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Replace em dashes with colons in the CONTRIBUTING deployment list. - Clean the description metadata of named Example Objects in examples maps instead of skipping the whole subtree; their value payloads and OpenAPI 3.1 example arrays are still left untouched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Add a Reference overview page presenting both APIs as cards - Rename the API Routes group to Engine API Routes - Group the Engine API pages (authorization, headers, requests, pagination, OpenAPI specifications, errors) under an Engine API section - Merge the errors overview into the generated error codes page and redirect the old URL - Add a Management API section with a personal access token authentication page Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fetches the latest spec, which adds the Meilisearch versions, organizations, regions, resources, team members, and teams routes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

"Engine" is internal vocabulary, and the docs already refer to this API as the Meilisearch API everywhere else. Following the convention used by comparable products (Elasticsearch API / Elastic Cloud API, Typesense API / Typesense Cloud Management API), the engine HTTP API is now called the Meilisearch API, alongside the Management API for Meilisearch Cloud. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fetches the latest spec, which adds the projects routes and the delete routes for organizations and teams.

Fetches the latest spec, which renames the snake_case fields and route segments to camelCase and kebab-case, and adds the route upgrading the Meilisearch version of a project.

Fetches the latest spec, which adds the project usage, cost, master key rotation and plan change routes, renames the project `apikey` field to `masterKey`, and flattens the project creation body.

Fetches the latest spec, which fixes the description of the 403 response of the project creation route: it is returned when the project limit is reached, not when the team is inaccessible.

The committed Mintlify file was still generated from v1.54.3 while the source spec was already on v1.55.0. Regenerating it brings back the v1.55.0 changes (condition outcomes schemas, MCP and template tag renames, updated rankingScoreThreshold description).
