OpenAPI Specification

crevio-co-approvals-api-openapi.yml Raw ↑
openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: Crevio API V1 Approvals API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: 'API for the Crevio creator platform — a multi-tenant SaaS for digital product sales.

    Uses snake_case keys following Stripe conventions. All resource IDs are string IDs (e.g., "prod_abc123").


    Authentication is a bearer token: `Authorization: Bearer $CREVIO_API_KEY`.

    List endpoints are cursor-paginated with `limit` and `starting_after`.

    Writes accept an `Idempotency-Key` header and are safe to retry.


    Every response carries IETF RateLimit headers (`RateLimit`, `RateLimit-Policy`) so a client can

    self-throttle, and `Retry-After` on a 429. The quota is 600 requests per minute per credential.


    The API is versioned in the URL path (`/v1`). Nothing is removed without in-band warning: a

    deprecated operation is marked `"deprecated": true` here and serves `Deprecation` (RFC 9745),

    `Sunset` (RFC 8594) and `Link; rel="deprecation"` headers for at least six months before it

    stops answering. See https://crevio.co/docs/developer/guides/versioning.'

An action raised outside a chat (over the API, or by a script run) runs now, and the approval comes back `executed` (with `result`) or `failed` (with `error`). One raised in a chat comes back `approved`: the agent runs it on its next turn, so poll the approval for the outcome. The Crevio agent can never approve: its calls are refused with 403 `approval_requires_user`. A user who may not answer the approval gets 403 `permission_denied`: an admin answers any approval, a teammate the ones raised in a chat they can see, and a card fill only an admin. An approval nobody answers outside a chat is denied after 7 days.'
