OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: Crevio API V1 Files 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.'

      description: 'Create a file. The endpoint discriminates between three intents based on which fields you send:


        **1. Presigned upload — `{ "filename": "photo.png" }`**

        Returns an `upload_url` and `upload_headers`. PUT your bytes to that URL, then call `POST /v1/files/{id}/uploaded` to transition the file from `pending` to `ready`.


        **2. Server-side URL import — `{ "url": "https://..." }`**

        Crevio downloads the bytes for you. Returns immediately with `upload_status: "processing"`. The status flips to `ready` (or `failed`) once the background download completes; poll `GET /v1/files/{id}` to check.


        **3. External video embed — `{ "kind": "external_video", "url": "https://youtube.com/..." }`**

        Pins a YouTube, Vimeo, or Wistia URL as an embeddable reference. No bytes are stored; status returns as `ready` immediately. Non-embed URLs are rejected with 422.'
