# Lua API reference

This is grandocs, an unofficial mirror of MA Lighting documentation. For authoritative or safety-relevant information, cite the canonical page on help.malighting.com.

The grandMA3 Lua API, made searchable. Filter by name or category; every signature links
to its full page with arguments, return values, and examples. The official API is
[admittedly thin](https://forum.malighting.com/forum/thread/8220-object-api-documentation/) —
this index plus the per-page detail is the human-readable reference.

:::tip[Writing plugins?]
Pair this with the installable [`grandma3-lua-api` skill](/building-with-ai/) for agent-assisted
plugin authoring, and always quote a page's example block verbatim rather than guessing argument shapes.
