notes: >-
  Oosto publishes no AsyncAPI document. It does ship a real, first-party-documented event surface:
  OnWatch pushes detection events to subscribed clients over a Socket.IO channel, demonstrated in
  both the JavaScript and Python sample code. This is a persistent socket stream, NOT HTTP webhook
  callbacks — the Webhooks pointer marks the presence of an asynchronous event surface, and the
  distinction is recorded here so nobody reads it as an HTTP callback contract. No AsyncAPI was
  authored: fabricating one would assert a contract the vendor has not published.
surface:
  api: Oosto OnWatch API
  transport: socket.io
  protocol: websocket
  url_pattern: https://<onwatch-server>/
  socketio_path: /bt/api/socket.io
  auth: bearer JWT supplied as a `token` query parameter on the handshake
  transports_option: '["websocket"]'
channels:
- name: 'track:created'
  direction: receive
  description: >-
    Emitted when OnWatch creates a track — a subject detected and tracked across the live camera
    feeds. The payload shape is not published; both samples consume it opaquely (the JS sample logs
    `Got track -` and the Python sample prints the raw data).

  note: >-
    No HTTP webhook registration endpoint, no signing secret and no delivery/retry contract appears
    in any public Oosto material.
gaps_for_the_provider:
- No AsyncAPI 3.x document for the OnWatch event stream.
- No published payload schema for track:created — an integrator cannot type the event without a
  deployed system to observe.
- No documented catalogue of the other events the socket emits; only track:created is demonstrated.
