# APIs

- [TypeSpec API Design](typespec.md): set up and build a contract, apply Forge operation templates, and configure authorization and mocking.
- [Downstream API Calls](calling-apis.md): generate a Kiota client, select the token flow, and resolve the deployed service.
- [Webhook Development](webhooks/index.md): receive external events locally and in production, including [Filevine](webhooks/filevine.md).

For vocabulary and parameter lookups, use the [`@saif/platform-typespec` reference](../../reference/platform-typespec.md). Its [generated package README](../../reference/typescript/saif-platform-typespec/index.md) separately covers package installation and exports.
