  version: 5.0.0
  description: 'The Facilio REST API gives you programmatic access to Facilio''s Connected CMMS — the unified platform for managing property operations at portfolio scale. Build integrations that connect Facilio with your ERP, accounting systems, BMS, IoT platforms, and other business tools.

    - **Attachments & Comments** — Attach documents, photos, and notes to work orders and service requests

    - **Picklists** — Discover available values for status, priority, category, and other configurable fields


    The API follows REST conventions with JSON request/response bodies, standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE), and consistent error handling across all endpoints. ## Base URL


    ```

    https://{region}.facilioapis.com/{app_name}/api/v5

    | `app_name` | `maintenance` for API Key auth, `developer` for OAuth2 auth | `maintenance`, `developer` |


    ## Authentication


    All API requests must be authenticated using one of the following methods:


    ### API Key (Personal Access Token)

    Generate an API key from your Facilio account settings and pass it in the `x-api-key` header. The key inherits the permissions of the user who created it. ```

    x-api-key: your-api-key-here

    |----------|-----|

    | Authorize | `https://{region}.facilioapis.com/identity/oauth2/authorize` |

    | Token | `https://{region}.facilioapis.com/identity/oauth2/token` |

    | Refresh | `https://{region}.facilioapis.com/identity/oauth2/token` (with `grant_type=refresh_token`) |

    | Revoke | `https://{region}.facilioapis.com/identity/oauth2/revoke` |


    Pass the access token as:

    ```

    Authorization: Bearer oauth2

    ```


    ---


    ## List Operations


    All list endpoints (`GET /{module}`) support these query parameters:

      description: 'When `true`, the metadata response adds `allowed_values` ([{label, value}]) on every picklist-capable field — `ENUM`, `SYSTEM_ENUM`, `MULTI_ENUM`, `STRING_SYSTEM_ENUM`, and `LOOKUP` fields targeting system picklist modules (status, priority, category, type, ...).

        Default `false` keeps the original metadata payload (no enrichment, no extra DB calls).

        Use this to discover acceptable write values without round-tripping `GET /picklist/{moduleName}/{fieldName}` for every picklist field.
