  description: Polar is an open-source Merchant of Record (MoR) and monetization platform for developers.

All requests are authenticated with a Bearer Organization Access Token. The canonical, machine-generated specification is published by Polar at https://api.polar.sh/openapi.json; this is a curated subset for the API Evangelist catalog.
