# Schema Creation APIs

**Base URL:** `/api/v1`

These APIs allow Standard Registry users to manage schemas — create, update, publish, import, export, and delete schemas associated with Guardian policies.

**Authentication:** All endpoints require a valid JWT Bearer token (`Authorization: Bearer <token>`). Obtain a token via `POST /accounts/login`.
