Is the documentation (either official or unofficial) of the programming "language" for the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor software available somewhere? Preferably online, without requiring the download of an application. (I have looked at the official LEGO site for the Mindstorms product line, but found nothing there)

To elaborate, I'm looking for a resource detailing the available commands, their possible parameters, expected results, etc.

Recently following web-page appeared: https://lego.github.io/MINDSTORMS-Robot-Inventor-hub-API/

I learned it from David Lechner (https://github.com/gpdaniels/spike-prime/issues/7#issuecomment-850643719). I haven't seen an official announcement, but the URL implies it's from LEGO.
