codex-api

Typed clients for Codex/OpenAI APIs built on top of the generic transport in codex-client.

• Hosts the request/response models and request builders for Responses and Compact APIs.
• Owns provider configuration (base URLs, headers, query params), auth header injection, retry tuning, and stream idle settings.
• Parses SSE streams into ResponseEvent/ResponseStream, including rate-limit snapshots and API-specific error mapping.
• Serves as the wire-level layer consumed by codex-core; higher layers handle auth refresh and business logic.

Core interface

The public interface of this crate is intentionally small and uniform:

• Responses endpoint

  • Input:
    • ResponsesApiRequest for the request body (model, instructions, input, tools, parallel_tool_calls, reasoning/text controls).
    • ResponsesOptions for transport/header concerns (conversation_id, session_source, extra_headers, compression, turn_state).
  • Output: a ResponseStream of ResponseEvent (both re-exported from common).

• Compaction endpoint

  • Input: CompactionInput<'a> (re-exported as codex_api::CompactionInput):
    • model: &str.
    • input: &[ResponseItem] – history to compact.
    • instructions: &str – fully-resolved compaction instructions.
  • Output: Vec<ResponseItem>.
  • CompactClient::compact_input(&CompactionInput, extra_headers) wraps the JSON encoding and retry/telemetry wiring.

• Memory summarize endpoint

  • Input: MemorySummarizeInput (re-exported as codex_api::MemorySummarizeInput):
    • model: String.
    • raw_memories: Vec<RawMemory> (serialized as traces for wire compatibility).
      • RawMemory includes id, metadata.source_path, and normalized items.
    • reasoning: Option<Reasoning>.
  • Output: Vec<MemorySummarizeOutput>.
  • MemoriesClient::summarize_input(&MemorySummarizeInput, extra_headers) wraps JSON encoding and retry/telemetry wiring.

All HTTP details (URLs, headers, retry/backoff policies, SSE framing) are encapsulated in codex-api and codex-client. Callers construct prompts/inputs using protocol types and work with typed streams of ResponseEvent or compacted ResponseItem values.
