title: API Evangelist enhancements for the Kolay Public API
version: 1.0.0
extends: openapi/kolayik-public-api-openapi.yml
x-generated: '2026-07-19'
x-method: generated
x-source: https://apidocs.kolayik.com/
x-note: >-
The base OpenAPI document is itself a faithful conversion of the official Kolay
Public API Postman collection (postman/kolayik-public-api-postman.json). This
overlay records only API Evangelist enhancements and never mutates that conversion.

published.
- No JSON schemas are published for request or response bodies; bodies are documented
by example only.
- No rate-limit policy or rate-limit response headers are documented.

x-apievangelist-authorization-model: >-
Effective authorization is bounded by the Kolay access type of the account the
token belongs to — owner (full read/write on all employees), manager (as owner
except payment and tax details), employee (own record only).
- target: $.tags
update:
x-apievangelist-note: Tags mirror the folder structure of the official Postman
collection.
