  description: "For Ritten Integrating Partners\n\n## Authentication\n\n- Request an access token with your provided integration credentials (`client_id` and `client_secret`) by calling our token endpoint:\n```bash\ncurl https://api.ritten.io/v1/oauth/token \\\n  -X POST \\\n  -H 'content-type: application/json' \\\n  -d '{\"client_id\":\"${client_id}\",\"client_secret\":\"${client_secret}\",\"audience\":\"https://external-api.ritten.io\",\"grant_type\":\"client_credentials\"}'\n```\n- Take the `access_token` from the response and use that as the `Bearer` token in your requests to our API.\n- Tokens are long-lived (24 hours / `expires_in: 86400`). The token endpoint also caches server-side, so rapid repeat calls won't hit Auth0 — but feel free to cache the access_token locally if you prefer.\n- The token endpoint itself does not require a Bearer token; the `client_secret` in the body is the authentication.\n\n> **Note:** When working in non-production environments, the API endpoints (and `audience` value) will be different.\n> For example, in the `beta` environment, the token endpoint is `https://api.beta.ritten.io/v1/oauth/token`\n> and the audience is `https://external-api.beta.ritten.io`.\n\n## Tenant Header\n\n- Make sure to add the tenant ID to the header of every request. This is the Ritten Clinic instance the request will target. Example:\n```\nX-Ritten-Tenant: ritclinic\n```\n\n## Rate Limiting\n\nTwo layers of rate limiting apply: per-request limits on API calls, and per-app limits on token minting.\n\n### API request rate limit\n\nApplied to authenticated API calls (everything except `/v1/oauth/token`):\n\n- 50 requests per second sustained rate\n- 100 requests burst allowance\n\nYou can make up to 100 requests in a short burst, but over time your average must stay at or below 50 requests per second. Think of it as a bucket that holds 100 tokens and refills at 50 tokens per second. Each request consumes one token. You'll receive a `429 Too Many Requests` response when this is triggered.\n\n### Token mint quota (Auth0)\n\nA separate per-application limit on how often you can mint new access tokens:\n\n- 2 mints per hour\n- 3 mints per day\n\nThese limits are applied at the Auth0 layer and count mints across both the legacy direct path and the cached `/v1/oauth/token` endpoint combined. **The cached endpoint is designed so that one mint per day is sufficient for any traffic volume** — the proxy serves all subsequent requests from the cached token. If you migrate to the cached endpoint, you will not notice these limits.\n\nToken mint quotas currently apply to all newly-provisioned integrator clients. They will be rolled out to existing clients on a separate schedule, and you will be contacted before that change applies to you.\n"
