Teams

Overview

The Teams API enables programmatic management of teams, members, invitations, usage tracking, and access control. Base URL: /api/teams Authentication: All endpoints require session authentication unless otherwise noted. Team Identifiers: Endpoints accept either UUID (550e8400-e29b-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx) or numeric ID (123).

Default Team Selection

If you belong to multiple teams, you can set a default team. The default team affects which team context is used by the NanoGPT web app and other session-authenticated requests that support team billing and settings.

Set Default Team

PATCH /api/user/default-team

Request Body (all fields optional):

{
  "team_uuid": "550e8400-e29b-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

Or by numeric ID:

{
  "team_id": 123
}

To clear the default team and return to personal billing:

{
  "team_uuid": null
}

Response:

{
  "ok": true,
  "metadata": {
    "default_team_uuid": "550e8400-e29b-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
  }
}

User Response Retention Default

Set a user-level default retention for /v1/responses. This applies when a request does not provide retention_days and no team override is active.

Get User Responses Retention

GET /api/user/responses-retention

Response:

{
  "responsesRetentionDays": 0
}

Set User Responses Retention

POST /api/user/responses-retention

Request Body:

{
  "responsesRetentionDays": 0
}

To clear the user-level override and fall back to team/platform defaults:

{
  "responsesRetentionDays": null
}

Rules:

responsesRetentionDays accepts integer values 0..365 or null.
null clears the user-level override.
The setting is stored in sessions.metadata.responsesRetentionDays.
