Openapi authentication (OAuth v2)

All Openapi services require a Bearer token created through OAuth v2. This skill manages that token lifecycle.

Credentials

Two layers — never confuse them:

1. Account credentials (email + API key) → used only against https://oauth.openapi.com, as HTTP Basic auth (username = email, password = API key).
2. Bearer token (created here, with scopes) → used against every service API as Authorization: Bearer <token>.

Expect credentials in the environment as OPENAPI_EMAIL, OPENAPI_API_KEY (and optionally a ready-made OPENAPI_TOKEN). Never print or commit them.

Create a token

curl -s -u "$OPENAPI_EMAIL:$OPENAPI_API_KEY" https://oauth.openapi.com/tokens \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "scopes": ["GET:company.openapi.com/IT-start"],
    "name": "agent token",
    "ttl": 86400
  }'

• Scope format: METHOD:host/path-prefix (e.g. POST:sms.openapi.com/IT-messages). Request only the scopes the task needs, with a short ttl (max 1 year).
• Discover valid scopes: GET https://oauth.openapi.com/scopes (Basic auth).
• Optional limits object restricts token usage further.
• A refresh token can renew a token: PATCH /tokens/{id} with the refresh token as Bearer.
• Tokens can also be created from the console UI (Authentication → "+New Token") at https://console.openapi.com.

Management endpoints (Basic auth)

Endpoint	Purpose
GET /tokens, GET|PATCH|DELETE /tokens/{token}	Token lifecycle
GET /scopes, GET /scopes/{id}	Available scopes
GET /wallet, GET /wallet/transactions	Credit balance — check before expensive paid calls
GET /subscriptions, GET /subscriptions/{id}	Active plans and remaining requests
GET /stats, GET /stats/apis, GET /stats/apis/{domain}, GET /stats/ips	Usage analytics
GET /errors, GET /callbacks	Error log and callback monitoring

Billing model (affects every service)

• Requests are paid from the wallet (per request) or from a subscription (monthly: 30 days no rollover; annual: 365 days, any pace). Both can coexist; the wallet is the fallback when subscription requests run out.
• Some APIs have free daily/monthly tiers; rate limits, when present, are stated in each API's description.
• Sandbox: free test requests, but "sandbox credit" must be enabled in the console first; responses are illustrative.

Notes

• OAuth v1 (oauth.openapi.it) is deprecated — always use oauth.openapi.com.
