# Origin Cloud Docs

User documentation for Origin Cloud, for anyone calling the GraphQL API or the origin CLI.

      rows={[
        { label: "GraphQL API", value: "admin · compute · pvs · network · iam · observability" },
        { label: "origin CLI", value: "id · admin · config · compute · storage · network · iam" },
        { label: "Price list", value: "GET /v1/pricing · public REST, no token" },
      ]}
      note="Every task shows the CLI command and the API operation. Observability and Pricing have no CLI commands."

What the platform can do, written for someone calling the GraphQL API or the `origin` CLI, not for someone reading the source. Every page says what kind it is (overview, concept, task, reference, troubleshooting or tutorial), so you know whether to read or to do.
