  notes: >-
    The Channable order connection API uses a single company-level API token. It is not declared in
    the OpenAPI securitySchemes (the components.securitySchemes object is empty); this profile is
    sourced from the published API documentation. Only company owners can generate a token from
    Company settings > Channable API in app.channable.com. Channable does not store tokens; generating
    a new token automatically revokes the previous one. Rate limiting is enforced per company, so
    minting extra tokens does not raise limits.
schemes:
- name: BearerToken
  type: http
  scheme: bearer
  description: >-
    Preferred method. Send the company API token in the Authorization header as
    `Authorization: Bearer [example key]`.
  location: header
  sources: [docs]
- name: AccessTokenQuery
  type: apiKey
  in: query
  parameter_name: access_token
  description: >-
    Alternative method. Send the company API token as the `access_token` query-string parameter,
    e.g. `?access_token=your_api_token`. The header method is recommended over query for security.

  legacy_note: >-
    Legacy Channable API tokens were deprecated; per the changelog (November 7, 2025) legacy tokens
    expired December 9, 2025 and integrations had to move to newly generated tokens.
