Get hierarchy schema for the active Environment

GET/portal/v1/accounts/{accountSlug}/applications/{appSlug}/environments/{envSlug}/hierarchy-schema

Returns the hierarchy schema for the active Environment, resolved from the principal context — the Application and Environment ride on the API key (env-pinned at issue time) or the admin token, so the path carries no slugs. The schema defines the Environment's node_types, the allowed_children map governing parent/child rules, max_depth, and the root_node_type used when the root node is auto-created. Sibling Environments in the same Application can carry independent schemas; returns null when the Environment is in flat mode. Requires the hierarchy.view permission.

Authentication

Bearer TokenAuthorization

JWT access token. Never send alongside X-API-Key: a request carrying both is refused.

Requires capability applications.viewDeveloper Console

View the Account's Applications and Environments. Granted through an administrator role in the Admin Workspace; a valid token without it is refused with 403.

Path Parameters

accountSlugstring Required

The Account's slug. An unknown one answers 404.

appSlugstring Required

The Application's slug within the Account.

envSlugstring Required

Errors

When the request can't be completed, the response body includes a stable error code you can branch on, and a correlation_id (also sent as the X-Correlation-Id header). Quote the correlation id when you contact support: it identifies the exact request in Canopy's logs.

When it happens

The signed-in user's administrator roles do not grant the capability this endpoint requires.

Remediation

Ask an account administrator to grant a role carrying the capability named in the Authentication section, then retry.
