summary:
  types:
  - http
schemes:
- name: bearerAuth
  type: http
  scheme: bearer
  description: >-
    API key generated at https://shapes.inc/developer, sent as the HTTP header
    `Authorization: Bearer <API-key>`. Also read from the SHAPESINC_API_KEY environment variable in the
    official examples. By default the API treats the caller as the key owner.
  sources:
  - openapi/shapes-api-openapi.yml
custom_headers:
- name: X-User-Id
  purpose: End-user identification; isolates conversation context and Shape memory per user. Strongly recommended for user-facing apps.
- name: X-Channel-Id
  purpose: Conversation/channel context for apps that support more than one conversation per user.
notes:
  - The public GET /shapes/public/{username} endpoint requires no authentication.
  - >-
    Shapes also supports an OAuth-style "Shapes authorization" that links API conversations to a user's
    shapes.inc account (memory + personas), documented via the shape-auth-example in the repo.
  - The Shapes developer API was deprecated 2025-09-25; keys may no longer be issued.
