  version: '1.1'
  description: "The Process Street API is organized around REST. Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs,\naccepts JSON-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response\ncodes, authentication, and verbs.\n\nAn [MCP server](https://www.process.st/help/docs/mcp-server/) is also available for integrating with AI agents and tools.\n\n## Core concepts\n\n**Workflow vs Workflow Run.** A **Workflow** (sometimes called a \"playbook\" or template) is the reusable\ndefinition — tasks, form fields, logic, automations. A **Workflow Run** (sometimes called a \"checklist\")\nis one *instance* of running a Workflow. You list available templates via `listWorkflows`; you start one\nvia `createWorkflowRun` (or by scheduling); and you read or update the live state of an in-progress run\nvia the Workflow Runs / Tasks / Form Field Values endpoints. The two are easy to confuse — when in doubt,\n\"Workflow\" is the *blueprint*, \"Workflow Run\" is *one execution*.\n\n**Pages** are similar but standalone: a Page is a content document (no tasks/form fields). A\n**Page Revision** is a versioned snapshot of its content.\n\n## IDs\n\nAll resource IDs are opaque 22-character URL-safe strings (Muids — a base64-encoded UUID). Treat them\nas opaque tokens. Do not parse them, attempt to sort by them, or assume any internal structure. You can\ncompare two IDs for equality with a plain string comparison.\n\n## Dates and times\n\nAll timestamps in requests and responses are ISO-8601, UTC, with millisecond precision\n(e.g. `2024-09-15T14:32:00.000Z`). For date-only fields (typically due dates), use a calendar date\n(`2024-09-15`).\n\n## Pagination\n\nList endpoints page through results using an opaque cursor named `_` (yes, just an underscore).\nThe flow:\n\n1. Call the list endpoint without `_` to get the first page.\n2. Each response includes a `links[]` array. If there are more pages, you'll find an entry with\n   `name: \"next\"` whose `href` is a fully-formed URL you can `GET` directly.\n3. Keep following `next.href` until the `next` link is absent — that's the end.\n\nYou can also reuse the `_` value from one response by passing it as the `_` query parameter on the\nnext request, but **following the `href` is simpler and forward-compatible**.\n\n## Authentication\n\nEvery request must include an API key as `X-API-KEY: <your-key>`. Generate keys from your\norganization settings in the Process Street app. Each key carries the permissions of the user that\ncreated it.\n\n## Idempotency and retries\n\n- `GET` requests are safe to retry on any error.\n- `PUT` requests are idempotent — calling them twice with the same body is equivalent to calling once.\n  Safe to retry on `5xx`.\n- `DELETE` is idempotent (deleting an already-deleted resource returns `404`, which is fine to ignore).\n- `POST` is generally **not** safe to blindly retry. For workflow runs, attach a `referenceId`\n  on create — calling `createWorkflowRun` twice with the same `referenceId` will return the existing\n  run instead of creating a duplicate.\n\n## Errors\n\nErrors are returned as a JSON object with this shape:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"error\": \"human-readable message\",\n  \"errorCode\": \"NotFound\",\n  \"requestId\": \"abc123…\",\n  \"details\": { \"fieldPath\": \"what went wrong\" }\n}\n```\n\n**When present**, branch on `errorCode` rather than regex'ing `error` (we may rewrite the wording). Include\n`requestId` if you contact support so we can find the request in our logs.\n\n`errorCode` and `requestId` are populated on responses generated by the public API exception handler, which\ncovers the great majority of errors. A few low-level failures (e.g. JSON parse failures caught before the\nhandler runs, framework-level routing errors) may return an `ErrorInfo` without these fields. In that case,\nfall back to the HTTP status code (`400`/`401`/`403`/`404`/`409`/`422`/`429`/`5xx`) — its semantics match\nthe corresponding `errorCode` value.\n\n## Rate limits\n\nAll requests are subject to rate limits. If you receive a `429` response, wait for the duration\nspecified in the `Retry-After` header before retrying.\n"
