OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.1.0

# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# GriffNode Public Merchant API — SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH
#
# This file is CANONICAL. Code, docs, SDKs, and plugins are reconciled TO it.
# Governance: docs/sdk/api-contract-governance.md  (the contract is FROZEN).
#
# This spec describes the cleaned-up v1 TARGET (decided: clean break + trim + /v1):
#   - transaction_id everywhere (the old `txid` on create/get is removed)
#   - currency_fiat everywhere (the old `currency` on create/get is removed)
#   - one pagination style: limit + offset, with a { limit, offset, total } block
#   - one curated Transaction schema for create/get/list (capability tokens,
#     client_ip, address_index, and other internal fields are NOT exposed)
#   - all paths under /v1
# Migration status of the Go code → this spec is tracked in api-inconsistencies.md.

  description: >
    Accept Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Dash, Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens.
    Server-to-server, authenticated with a secret API key
    (`Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…` for live, or `sk_test_…` for test mode — same base URL).
    All monetary amounts in API responses are JSON numbers; **webhook** amounts are
    strings to preserve decimal precision (see the `webhooks` section).


    **Rate limits.** Every request is rate-limited per API key in two windows — per minute
    and per hour — by plan tier (min/hour): starter 30/500, business 100/2000, professional
    300/5000, enterprise 1000/20000. Every response carries `X-RateLimit-Limit`,
    `X-RateLimit-Remaining` and `X-RateLimit-Reset` (Unix seconds) for the per-minute window.
    On `429` the body is `error: "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED"` (either window) with a `Retry-After`
    header (seconds) — clients should retry after it. A separate `429` with
    `error: "MONTHLY_LIMIT_REACHED"` means the plan's monthly transaction quota (not the
    request rate).

      Single base URL for both live and test traffic. A live secret key (`sk_live_`)
      settles real funds on mainnet. A test secret key (`sk_test_`) is validated the
      same way but creates test transactions (`TTX-` ids, `"test": true`): no real
      address, nothing on-chain, not counted toward plan limits, and moved to an
      outcome with POST /transactions/{transaction_id}/simulate (see
      https://docs.griffnode.com/test-mode). Each key sees only its own mode's
      transactions. There is no separate sandbox host.
