description: 'Together Labs (Palo Alto, California) is the company behind IMVU, the 3D avatar-based
  social network and virtual-goods marketplace, alongside MetaJuice, its blockchain arm, and the VCOIN
  transferable digital currency. Its developer surface is unusual for a consumer platform: the public
  developer program that once issued API keys was retired, but api.imvu.com remains a live, publicly
  readable hypermedia REST API — a "denormalized" node envelope over users, products, rooms and
  derivation relationships — and Together Labs publishes a genuinely documented, first-party in-world
  scripting API for IMVU rooms in Lua/Luau on GitHub, complete with an event model, an imvu.* method
  surface, a persistent key/value data module and published resource limits. Neither surface ships an
  OpenAPI, an AsyncAPI, an MCP server, an agent card or an llms.txt.'

- name: IMVU Room Scripting API
  description: 'First-party in-world scripting API for IMVU Live Rooms. Room scripts are single-file
    Lua programs executed server-side in a Luau sandbox; the engine calls event functions
    (event_start, event_begin_iteration, event_message_received, event_state_changed,
    event_tip_received, event_end_iteration, event_stop) roughly 20 times a second, and scripts call
    back into an imvu.* method surface to chat, whisper, place and remove furniture, move and remove
    scene members, send room invites, control embedded YouTube media, create polls and read audience
    or scene membership. A data.save / data.load module provides persistent key/value storage scoped
    to script, room, account or individual visitor. Published as a VIP-only alpha; documentation and
    nine worked example scripts are published by IMVU on GitHub.'

  description: 'Production hypermedia REST API serving IMVU''s own web and mobile clients. It is
    publicly reachable and a meaningful slice of it answers unauthenticated: GET /product/product-<id>,
    /user/user-<id> and /room return a "denormalized" node envelope carrying data, relations and a
    per-node http block, with collection endpoints paginated by limit and start_index. Together Labs
    publishes no reference documentation, no OpenAPI and no key-issuance process for it — the public
    developer program that issued API keys was retired — so everything recorded here was established
    by probing the live host, not read from a contract.'
