aid: cortex-idp url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/cortex-idp/refs/heads/main/apis.yml name: Cortex kind: company description: Cortex (cortex.io) is an internal developer portal (IDP) and software catalog platform. It gives engineering organizations a catalog of services and entities, Scorecards that measure those entities against production-readiness and reliability standards, Initiatives for driving improvement campaigns, and roughly thirty integrations (GitHub, PagerDuty, Datadog, Kubernetes, and more) that hydrate the catalog. Cortex exposes a documented REST API (base https://api.getcortexapp.com/api/v1) with Bearer/API-key authentication covering the Catalog/Entities, Scorecards, Custom Data, Initiatives, Deploys, Teams, and Integrations. NOTE - this is Cortex.io the internal developer portal / service catalog & scorecards company, NOT Cortex XSOAR (Palo Alto Networks), NOT the Cortex crypto token, and NOT Orange Logic's Cortex DAM. image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - Software Catalog - Internal Developer Portal - Service Catalog - Developer Experience - IDP - Scorecards - Platform Engineering - Developer Portal created: '2026-07-11' modified: '2026-07-11' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: cortex-idp:cortex-idp-catalog-api name: Cortex Catalog API tags: - Software Catalog - Service Catalog - Entities - Internal Developer Portal image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg humanURL: https://docs.cortex.io/api/readme/catalog-entities baseURL: https://api.getcortexapp.com/api/v1 properties: - url: https://docs.cortex.io/api type: Documentation - url: https://docs.cortex.io/api/readme/catalog-entities type: APIReference - url: openapi/cortex-idp-openapi.yml type: OpenAPI - url: collections/cortex-idp.postman_collection.json type: PostmanCollection - url: collections/cortex-idp.opencollection.json type: OpenCollection description: The software catalog core - list, retrieve, create/update (upsert via entity descriptor), archive, unarchive, and delete catalog entities (services, resources, domains, and custom entity types).
