# Download the Parmana Handbook (PDF)

> Serves the handbook PDF (docs/site/parmana-handbook.pdf, generated by scripts/generate-handbook-pdf.ts from docs/parmana-handbook/*.md) as a static file directly from this API, see packages/api/src/routes/handbook-pdf.ts. Not served from the docs site itself: PDF file serving on Mintlify requires an Enterprise plan. Exempt from caller authentication for the same reason GET /openapi.yaml is: a visitor downloading documentation has no Parmana credential yet.




## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.bundled.yaml get /parmana-handbook.pdf
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Parmana API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Parmana is an Execution Trust Infrastructure that ensures there is no gap
    between what humans decide and what AI systems do. The API enables creation,
    execution, verification, replay, and auditing of Business Transactions
    through cryptographically verifiable Execution Trust Records.


    **Every route requires a caller bearer key**, except the liveness/readiness
    probes and documentation/verification routes that must be reachable with no
    credential: GET /health, GET /ready, GET /openapi.yaml, GET /documentation,
    GET /reference, POST /refusal/verify, POST /audit/verify, GET /keys/{keyId},
    and GET /.well-known/jwks.json. Send `Authorization: Bearer <key>` on every
    other request. Keys are issued by `scripts/generate-api-key.ts` and
    configured server-side via `PARMANA_API_KEYS`; only a hash of each key is
    ever held by the server, verified in constant time. A missing or invalid
    credential returns 401 before a Business Transaction is even constructed,
    independent of Policy evaluation and gateway attestation, see
    `packages/api/src/middleware/caller-auth.ts` and
    [Authentication](/api-reference/authentication). Local development may set
    `PARMANA_AUTH_DISABLED=true` to skip this middleware entirely; that flag
    must never be set in a real deployment.
