## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.yaml get /instructions/{instruction_id}
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Dakota Platform API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Combined API specification for Dakota Platform services:

    - Issuance API: Asset minting and burning operations

    - Onboarding API: Know Your Business/Customer verification

    - On/Off Ramp API: Managing on-ramp and off-ramp accounts

    - Recipients API: Managing destinations for KYB'd entities

    - Transactions API: Viewing transaction history across platform operations


    ## Authentication and API Headers


    All API endpoints require the following headers:


    - `x-idempotency-key`: Required for all POST endpoints to ensure request
    idempotency

    - `x-api-key`: Required for authentication across all endpoints


    Note: On /applications endpoints you need a token for authentication instead
    of a x-api-key

    - `x-application-token`: Required for authentication on public /applications
    endpoints (alternative to `x-api-key` where documented)



    ## Rate Limits


    Requests are rate limited per API key. Every response includes the following
    headers:


    | Header | Description |

    | --- | --- |

    | `X-RateLimit-Limit` | Maximum requests allowed in the current one-minute
    window. |

    | `X-RateLimit-Remaining` | Requests remaining in the current window. |

    | `X-RateLimit-Reset` | Absolute Unix timestamp (seconds since epoch) when
    the current rate-limit window resets. |


    When a request is throttled (`429`), responses also include `Retry-After`
    with seconds to wait before retrying.

  - name: Sandbox
    description: >-
      Trigger sandbox-only simulation endpoints for safe end-to-end integration
      testing with synthetic data. The sandbox host
      (`https://api.platform.sandbox.dakota.xyz`) also accepts a family of
      `X-Sandbox-*` request headers on most write endpoints (`Customers`,
      `Accounts`, `Transactions`, simulate endpoints) that let integrators drive
      deterministic failure modes — pick a preset via `X-Sandbox-Scenario`, or
      compose a custom one with
      `X-Sandbox-Error-Step`/`X-Sandbox-Error-Status`/`X-Sandbox-Error-Message`.
      `X-Sandbox-Instant-Completion` collapses async flows to a single
      synchronous step, and `X-Sandbox-Skip-Auto-Approval` keeps newly created
      KYB applications in `pending` for manual-review testing. All `X-Sandbox-*`
      headers are ignored in production.


      **Prerequisites:** Sandbox environment and test customer data.

      The legal documents customers accept — terms of service, privacy policy,

      Dakota publishes these here, and this is the authoritative source: the
      hosted onboarding flow, the dakota.xyz website, and your own integration
      all read the same revisions. Present the current revision to your customer
      before capturing their acceptance so the record reflects the text they
      actually saw.

            A link the customer can follow to CLEAR this error, present only on
            problems with a concrete self-service remedy.

            Today this is returned by
            `#terms-not-accepted`, where it points at the hosted flow in which
            the outstanding agreement can be signed. The link is token-gated and
            usable as-is — send the customer to it directly rather than parsing
            it out of `detail`.

            request fields and actions so a machine caller (such as a payment
            agent drafting proposals) can self-correct; `user_message` says the
            same thing without API vocabulary. Clients that relay errors into a
            human surface (chat, email, UI) should show `user_message` when
            present and fall back to `detail`.

            Whose side of the conversion fee `amount` is on.


            Absent or `false` (the DEFAULT): `amount` is what the payee
            RECEIVES. The server adds the fee on top, so slightly more leaves
            the funding wallet. This is what "pay Bruno 10 USDC" means to a
            person, and it matches the same payment made through a client's own
            form.


            `true`: `amount` is what LEAVES the wallet, and the payee receives
            less the fee. Use it only when the customer says so — "send 10 in
            total", "including the fee".


            The gross-up is done SERVER-SIDE from the fee on the request; the
            agent never computes it, so it can neither get the arithmetic wrong
            nor be talked out of the fee. With no fee configured the two are
            identical.

            Optional — the destination's own network is used when omitted. When
            the destination pins a DIFFERENT one in the same family, this
            payment's network wins (the pin records what an earlier payment did,
            not a restriction on the address). Across chain FAMILIES the address
            does not carry at all, and that is refused.
