info:
  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.

    Note:
      type: object
      description: >
        A polymorphic note attached to any parent resource (order, account,
        product, vendor, etc.) via `parent_type` + `parent_id`. Notes carry
        operator-authored prose plus an optional rich-text rendering
        (`content_html`). Pinned notes sort to the top of their parent's
        timeline. Soft-delete sets `deleted_at`; restore clears it. Scope:
        notes:read / notes:write / notes:delete. Rule 23 SSOT: `is_pinned` is
        written only by canonical pinNote / unpinNote; `deleted_at` only by
        softDeleteNote / restoreNote.
