## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.yaml patch /api-keys/{api_key_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.

      must be available.

      **Related:** Customers, Wallets, Events


      ### Webhook event catalog (v1)


      Every card-family event a client can subscribe to, in one place:


      | Event | Fires when |

      | -- | -- |

      | `cardholder.created` | A cardholder is created. |

      | `cardholder.updated` | Any cardholder change, including every
      review-status transition and deletion (`status: closed`). |

      | `cardholder.information_requested` | A reviewer asks for more
      information; the payload lists the open requirements. Not yet emitted; the
      review pipeline that opens a request for information is still to land. |

      | `card.created` | A card is created. |

      | `card.updated` | Any card change: status, spend limit, last4, freeze
      sources. A close arrives here with `status: closed`. |

      | `card_transaction.created` | The first event for a transaction, normally
      an authorization (`status: authorized`) placing a hold. A declined
      authorization also arrives here, with `status: declined`. |

      | `card_transaction.updated` | Every later change to the same transaction
      (see below). |

      | `wallet.card_enablement.completed` | A wallet's card-settlement
      enablement became active. |


      **Card event ordering.** `card.created` and `card.updated` carry the card
      as it stands after

      the change, including `version` and `freeze_sources` (always an array,
      empty when nothing

      holds the card). `version` is strictly increasing per card and matches the
      `version` on the

      card resource. Deliveries can arrive out of order, so keep the highest
      `version` you have

      applied for each card and drop any event whose `version` is not greater
      than it.


      **One transaction stream.** Holds, releases, partial clearings,
      settlement, returns,

      disputes and force posts are not separate event types. They are `status`
      transitions on

      the transaction, delivered as `card_transaction.updated` with the same
      payload shape as

      `card_transaction.created`:


      | What happened | `status` on the event |

      | -- | -- |

      | Transaction known before its first authorization event | `pending` (on
      `card_transaction.created`) |

      | Hold placed (authorization) | `authorized` (on
      `card_transaction.created`, or `card_transaction.updated` after a
      `pending` start) |

      | Hold released without clearing (merchant, issuer or network reversal) |
      `auth_reversed` |

      | Hold expired unused | `expired` |

      | Part of the hold settled | `partially_cleared` (with the new
      `cleared_amount`) |

      | Fully settled | `cleared` |

      | Settled with no prior hold | `force_posted` |

      | Merchant refund | `returned`, on a new card transaction for the refund;
      the original purchase stays `cleared`. The network returned the money;
      read `refund_state` for whether it reached the customer's wallet
      (`pending` then `paid`). `returned` alone is not proof of payout. |

      | Chargeback opened | `disputed` (reserved; not emitted yet) |

      | Authorization refused | `declined` (on `card_transaction.created`, or
      `card_transaction.updated` when the transaction already exists). Moves no
      money; read `decline_reason` and `decline_code` for why. |


      `outstanding_amount` is the part of `cleared_amount` that no authorization
      covered, less any refunds: non-zero after a force post or an over-capture.


      **Naming.** A dotted segment names a sub-resource of the resource before
      it, so

      `wallet.card_enablement.*` is a wallet's card enablement.
      `card_transaction.*` carries an

      underscore because the resource is `card_transactions`, a top-level
      resource, not a

      sub-resource of a card. It is not a typo, and there is no
      `card.transaction.*` family, and

      no separate settlement event: settlement is a `status` on
      `card_transaction.updated`.

  - 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.

      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.

          example: >-
            ACH payments pay out USD, so a USDC payout isn't possible on this
            rail. Change the payout currency to USD and try again.
        reason:
          type: string
          description: >
            A stable, machine-readable code for why the request was refused,

            present only when Dakota has a typed reason for this error. Branch

            on `reason` rather than parsing `detail`. `detail` is unchanged.


            This is an open set: new values are added over time and a value is

            never repurposed, so treat an unrecognized `reason` as absent.


            Which operations return it today:


            - `createAccount` (onramp, offramp and swap) and `createTransaction`
              (a one-off transaction creates an account): every value in the
              table except `immutable_field`; `signature_required` comes from
              `createTransaction` only.
            - `updateAccount`: `field_invalid` (a developer fee that is out of
              range), `resource_not_found`, and `immutable_field` (the change
              would alter the account's routing; create a new account instead).
            - `deleteAccount`: `resource_not_found`.

            - `createInstructions`: a payment-agent instruction that creates an
              account fails with the same `reason` values as `createAccount`,
              but `params.field` is never returned there: the response carries
              the other `params` keys only, because this operation has no
              public field names to map to.
            - Other operations may also set `reason`. Treat a `reason` you do
              not recognize as absent, as above, and never assume an operation
              that is not listed here omits it.

            token from a closed set, or the public name of a request field
            (`field` is expressed in this operation's request body, and is
            omitted when the offending value has no public name). Never free
            text. Present only alongside `reason`, and only when the reason
            has parameters.

        Unique key (UUID) to ensure request idempotency on POST, PUT and PATCH
        requests.


        A key is scoped to your client, the HTTP method and the path, and is
        remembered for 24 hours after a

        successful (below 400) response. Repeating the same request (same JSON
        body, whatever the key order or

        whitespace) with the same key within that window returns the original
        response with

        `X-Idempotent-Replayed: true` instead of executing the request again.
        Using the same key on the same

        endpoint with a different body returns `422` with problem type
        `idempotency-key-reused`; the request is

        not executed. Error responses (4xx and 5xx) are not remembered, so a
        request refused for a fixable reason

        can be corrected and retried under the same key. Request bodies that are
        not JSON (for example file

        uploads) are not compared.
