Gemnote Shipments API

  title: Gemnote Gifts Shipments API
  version: v1
  description: The Gemnote API lets partners send custom gifts and greeting cards programmatically and track their shipments. Responses follow a JSON:API-style envelope (data / type / attributes / relationships, with links + meta for pagination). Authentication is a token issued by your Gemnote account manager, passed in the AUTHORIZATION header. A sandbox environment (https://sandbox.gemnote.com/) mirrors production for safe testing; sandbox tokens begin with `t_` and production tokens begin with `p_`.
