openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Nexio API
  version: '1.0'
  description: |
    The Nexio public API. Submit runs to configured engines and read their
    results, hold conversations with configured assistants, make authorized
    reads over the planes and families of a connected system of record, and
    manage webhooks and environments.

    Six engine types are registered: comparison, matching, entity_analysis,
    diligence, triage, and opportunity.

    Every route under /api/v1/ requires `Authorization: Bearer <key>`, except
    inbound event ingest (`POST /api/v1/events/ingest/{source_key}`), which
    authenticates each request against its ingest source instead: an
    HMAC-SHA256 signature for `nexio` and `github` sources, or a shared
    authentication code for an `ams360_ons` source. Error
    bodies share the `Error` schema. Call the API from servers only: it sends
    no CORS headers.

        Organization keys are issued in the portal (Settings, then API keys),

        each bound to one environment, shaped `nx_<environment slug>_<64 hex>`.
        They carry

        no capabilities and pass every capability check, with one exception:

        routes under /api/v1/records, /api/v1/engines/{id}/opportunities,

        /api/v1/graph and /api/v1/catalog/documents accept an

        organization key only when its environment is `live`, and refuse any

        other with 403 `scoped_key_required`. Revocation takes effect within 60

        seconds.


        Scoped keys are issued by Nexio on request, shaped

        `nxsk_v1_<24 hex key id>_<43 character secret>`. Each is bound to one

        org, one environment, a set of engines and a set of capabilities. A

        malformed, unknown or revoked `nxsk_` key fails with 401 and is never

        retried as an organization key. Revocation takes effect on the next

        request. A scoped key without a route's capability gets 403

        `insufficient_capability`; a scoped key not bound to the engine gets 403

        `engine_binding_forbidden`.


        Key-grantable capabilities: `engines:read`, `runs:write`, `runs:read`,

        `runs:defensibility:read`, `runs:test`, `catalog:read`,

        `catalog:documents:read`, `webhooks:manage`, `conversations:use`,

        `conversations:export`, `records:read`, `records:opportunities:run`,

        `actions:write`, `actions:read`, `graph:read`, `records:analyze`.


        Routes that accept organization keys only (every scoped key gets 403

        `insufficient_capability`): environment management, engine create,

        update, configuration and publish, and conversation instance

        authoring. Each operation description names the capability a scoped

        key needs.
