OpenAPI Overlay
overlay: 1.0.0
info:
title: API Evangelist enhancements for the Hiver API
version: 1.0.0
extends: ../openapi/hiver-api-openapi.json
x-provenance:
generated: '2026-08-22'
method: generated
source: >-
Generated from Hiver's own published documentation at https://developer.hiverhq.com/hiver-api
and applied over the verbatim contract at openapi/hiver-api-openapi.json. The original spec
is never mutated. Every value below is quoted or paraphrased from Hiver's own prose - nothing
is invented.
note: >-
The scorer parses the ORIGINAL spec, so this overlay improves derived artifacts and any
consumer who chooses to apply it; it does not change Hiver's own contract-content score.
actions:
- target: $.info
description: >-
Add a real title, contact and description. The published spec carries only
title "hiver-api" and version "1.0.0" - no description, no contact, no licence, no terms.
update:
title: Hiver API
description: >-
The Hiver REST API exposes Shared Inboxes and their conversations, users, tags and
internal notes. Authenticate with an admin-generated API key sent as an HTTP Bearer
token. All successful responses are wrapped in a top-level `data` object; list responses
add `data.pagination.next_page`, an opaque forward cursor. Rate limits are 1 request per
second per account and 5000 requests per day, signalled only by HTTP 429 with no
rate-limit response headers. API access requires a Pro plan or above.

description: >-
Declare the Bearer API key as a securityScheme. The published spec has NO
components.securitySchemes; authentication is modelled as a required `Authorization`
header parameter repeated on all 12 operations, which no generated client can discover
as auth.

Hiver account API key, generated by an administrator under

Record the documented runtime semantics that have no home in OpenAPI 3.0 fields, so an
agent reading only the contract can find them.
update:
x-rate-limits:
per_second: 1
per_day: 5000
scope: per-account
status_on_exhaustion: 429
headers: none published
guidance: retry with exponential backoff; continuous 429 retries may blacklist the IP or key

x-pagination:
style: opaque-cursor
params: [limit, sort_by, sort_order, next_page]
limit_min: 10
limit_max: 100
limit_default: 10
response_field: data.pagination.next_page
termination: next_page is null
x-error-envelopes:
- '{"errors":[{"message":"..."}]}'
- '{"Message":"..."}'
x-idempotency:
supported: false
note: No Idempotency-Key header is published; the three POST operations are not safe to blind-retry.
x-reversibility:
status: documented
note: >-
PATCH conversation is reversible only by re-applying previously read values; tag
creation, shared drafts and notes have no published reversal endpoint and no window.
