OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Privy REST Users API
  description: 'Privy is a wallet and authentication platform for Web3 apps. The Privy REST

    API exposes endpoints for managing users, wallets, policies, and webhooks

    across multiple blockchains (Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Stellar, Sui, Aptos,

    Movement, Tron, Bitcoin Segwit/Taproot, Pearl, NEAR, TON, Starknet, Spark).


    All requests must be made over HTTPS and include both the privy-app-id

    header and an Authorization header using HTTP Basic auth with the app id as

    the username and the app secret as the password. The API enforces per-app

    rate limits and returns 429 on overage.
