  title: Highnote Graph QL API
  description: 'The Highnote embedded-finance platform is driven by a single GraphQL endpoint. This OpenAPI document models the GraphQL-over-HTTP surface: a single POST /graphql operation that accepts a GraphQL query or mutation plus optional variables, authenticated with HTTP Basic auth using a base64-encoded API key as the username (no password). See graphql/highnote-graphql.md and graphql/highnote-schema.graphql for the GraphQL types, queries, and mutations.'
