  title: Arcus ERP Public API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Arcus ERP public REST API. Designed for external integrations and data
    migration.


    **Authentication.** Bearer token (API key) via the `Authorization` header.

    Format: `Authorization: Bearer ark_live_ent_<code>_<random>` (or
    `ark_test_*` for sandbox).

    API keys are issued per-entity in **Settings > Developers > API Keys**.


    **Entity scoping.** The entity is encoded in the API key prefix; routes are
    flat

    (e.g. `/v1/accounts`, `/v1/orders`, `/v1/products`). A small set of platform
    endpoints

    (migration, reconciliation, events, webhook endpoints, API keys) use the

    `/v1/entities/{entity_id}/...` form -- those are noted in their tags.


    **Key capabilities.**
      - Related-resource hydration via `?expand[]=` (see `x-arcus-expand` on each resource).
      - Cursor-based pagination (`starting_after` / `ending_before` / `limit`).
      - Idempotency via the `Idempotency-Key` header.
      - Webhook events for asynchronous notification.
      - Conditional requests / ETag for cache validation.

      description: >
        A lot-tracked production batch of a product. Created when receiving lot-
        tracked inventory and consumed via FEFO (first-expiry-first-out) at
        allocation time. Status walks `active -> on_hold -> expired -> recalled`
        via the change-status endpoint. Soft-delete refuses when
        `quantity_on_hand > 0` (HTTP 409). Scope: lots:read / lots:write /
        lots:delete. Rule 23 SSOT: `quantity_on_hand` is written only by
        canonical inventory_transactions postings; the API never writes it
        directly.
