Leanplum Content & Variables API

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Leanplum API
  version: '1.0.6'
  description: >-
    The Leanplum (Leanplum by CleverTap) REST API. All requests are made to
    https://api.leanplum.com/api and are dispatched by an `action` parameter that
    names the method to run (for example action=track or action=sendMessage).
    Every request carries `appId`, a permission-scoped `clientKey`, and
    `apiVersion`; most requests also carry a `userId` and/or `deviceId`. Requests
    may be sent as GET (arguments as query parameters) or POST (arguments in a JSON
    or multipart body). Multiple actions can be batched with the `multi` method.


    Operating status note: Leanplum was acquired by CleverTap in 2022 and now
    operates as "Leanplum by CleverTap." The documented API surface below remains
    active during customer migration to CleverTap; CleverTap has wrapped its own
    methods behind these Leanplum API methods to ease that transition. Endpoint
    method names are grounded in the public Leanplum API reference; request/response
    schemas are modeled and should be verified against the live docs.
