TutorCruncher Payments API

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: TutorCruncher API
  description: >-
    REST API for TutorCruncher, tutoring business management software for
    agencies, companies, and independent tutors. The API exposes the core
    domain - clients, recipients (students), contractors (tutors), agents,
    services (jobs), appointments (lessons), invoices, payment orders, proforma
    invoices, ad hoc charges, and reference data - plus HTTP webhooks for event
    notifications.

    Base URL: https://app.tutorcruncher.com/api/. Authentication uses a private
    API key (found under Integrations) sent in the Authorization header as
    `token <API KEY>`. All list endpoints are paginated with up to 100 objects
    per page and return `count`, `next`, `previous`, and `results`. Requests are
    rate limited to 100 per minute. This document targets API v2 (v1 was
    deprecated 2025-07-03); in v2, users are updated by ID (for example
    `POST /api/clients/{id}/`) rather than by email.

    Note: TutorCruncher's "Socket" is a JavaScript embed
    (https://cdn.tutorcruncher.com/socket/latest/socket.js) for publishing
    public tutor and lesson listings on a website; it is not a WebSocket API and
    is not modeled here. Event delivery is via HTTP webhooks.
