Skip to main content
Use this endpoint to resolve your account’s Home repository. The Home repository is the default destination when creating pipelines or datasets without specifying a repositoryId. The response has the same shape as GET /repositories/{id}.

​
Request

GET https://api.alphacast.io/repositories/home

​
Authentication

This endpoint requires HTTP Basic Auth. Pass your API key as the username and leave the password empty.

​
Response

Returns a single repository object — the same structure as GET /repositories/{id}.
​
id
integer
Unique numeric identifier for the Home repository.
​
name
string
Display name of the repository.
​
description
string
Optional description of the repository’s contents or purpose.
​
privacy
string
Visibility setting. Either "Public" or "Private".
​
team
string
The team this repository belongs to, if applicable.
​
permission
string
Your access level. For your Home repository this is always "Owner".

​
Example

curl -u YOUR_API_KEY: \
  https://api.alphacast.io/repositories/home

{
  "id": 42,
  "name": "Home",
  "description": null,
  "privacy": "Private",
  "team": null,
  "permission": "Owner"
}
Store the Home repository ID if you plan to create multiple datasets or pipelines — it saves a round-trip on each creation request.
