Shiplight Cloud v2
Read-only access to test results uploaded by the Shiplight CLI / CI runner. The /v1 segment is the API contract version. Do not attempt to publish runs through this skill.
Setup
export SHIPLIGHT_API_URL=https://nova-api.shiplight.ai
All API calls require:
Authorization: Bearer $SHIPLIGHT_API_TOKEN
If the user provides a token, append it to the project's .env file as SHIPLIGHT_API_TOKEN=<token> and tell them to keep .env out of git.
CI Integration
The runs this skill reads are produced in CI by the shiplight report CLI, which uploads each test run's artifacts to Shiplight Cloud.
To set up a GitHub Actions workflow (default or Shiplight-hosted runners, tokens, and shiplight report wiring), see the create-yaml-tests skill's references/ci.md.
Error Handling
| Status | Action |
|---|
| 400 | Fix the request, IDs, or query parameters. All validation errors return 400. |
| 401 | Token is missing, invalid, expired, or for the wrong Nova environment. |
| 403 | Token lacks permission; or the S3 URI points at a non-test-results bucket; or the URI key's first segment is not your organization ID. |
| 404 | Run, result, or artifact not found for this organization. |
| 500 | Retry only if idempotent. |
REST API
Base URL: $SHIPLIGHT_API_URL
List Test Runs
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SHIPLIGHT_API_TOKEN" \
"$SHIPLIGHT_API_URL/v1/test-runs?pageSize=10"
Ordered by createdAt descending.
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|
result | string | Exact match on overall run result: passed, failed, pending |
repo | string | Exact match on org/repo |
branch | string | Exact match on branch |
from | string | ISO timestamp lower bound (inclusive) on createdAt |
to | string | ISO timestamp upper bound (inclusive) on createdAt |

Response: array of { id, status, result, branch, commitSha, repo, target, startTime, endTime, totalTestCount, passedCount, flakyCount, failedCount, skippedCount, metadata, ... }.
passedCount includes flakyCount (use passedCount - flakyCount for strict passes); failedCount includes timedout. Sum = totalTestCount.
Get Test Run
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SHIPLIGHT_API_TOKEN" \
"$SHIPLIGHT_API_URL/v1/test-runs/42"
Returns the run (testRun) plus every testCaseResult row, unpaginated.

Workflows
Inspect a Run's Results
GET /v1/test-runs?pageSize=10&result=failed (or other filters) to find recent failures.
GET /v1/test-runs/{testRunId} to load testRun + testCaseResults.
- For each failed
testCaseResult, GET /v1/s3/file?uri=<reportS3Uri> to fetch the report JSON.
- Parse the report and stream any nested
s3:// URIs via GET /v1/s3/file?uri=…. Report schema is reporter-defined; expect arbitrary fields containing s3:// values.
Triage Failures or Flaky Tests
GET /v1/failing-tests?repo=org/repo (or /v1/flaky-tests) — defaults to the last 7 days on any branch. Add branch= to scope, from/to to widen or shift the window.
- For each row,
GET /v1/s3/file?uri=<reportS3Uri> to fetch the report JSON.
- Parse the report and stream any nested
s3:// URIs via GET /v1/s3/file?uri=….
