info:
  title: Chimoney Account Payouts API
  description: 'Chimoney is a developer-first global payouts and disbursement platform with deep coverage across Africa and 130+ countries. The REST API sends money to bank accounts, mobile money wallets, airtime, gift cards, Chimoney wallets, and Interledger wallet addresses; manages multicurrency wallets and sub-accounts; supports redemption, payment collection, and informational lookups (banks, assets, exchange rates). All requests are authenticated with an API key passed in the X-API-KEY header, issued from the Chimoney developer dashboard (dash.chimoney.io/developers). A separate sandbox host is available for testing. This is a curated, representative subset of the live OpenAPI (source: https://api.chimoney.io/v0.2/swagger.json, spec version 0.2.2); paths, methods, and summaries are grounded in that document. Request-body schemas are representative and simplified for the most common endpoints - consult the official docs for the full field set.'
