VA Forms
Search VA forms, retrieve a form by name, and pull the PDF link or version metadata programmatically.
Keeps the surface simple with /forms and /forms/{form_name}
The scope is limited to the forms catalog, not the application process itself
Start with an API key and call /forms to validate search behavior. Then fetch /forms/{form_name} for a known form and confirm the PDF link, metadata, and version fields match your use case.

About this API
This API is intentionally narrow: it exposes the VA forms catalog and per-form detail so that portals or internal tools can point to official PDFs and version metadata directly. Concrete nouns in the spec include "/forms" and "/forms/{form_name}".
That is enough to support search the va forms catalog, fetch metadata for a specific form name, and check whether a form has a newer version. The OpenAPI document names security schemes such as "apikey".
