      You can also use mTLS to enhance your API security. To get your specific
      certificates please contact our support.

      Once you configure the certificated correctly, you need to also update
      endpoints to use the following secure api base URL:

    description: >-
      API keys authenticate requests to the Snappy API. Use these endpoints to
      list active keys for your Company, create new keys, or delete keys you no
      longer need.
  - name: Accounts
    description: >-
      An **Account** is a sub-entity that lives within a **Company**. Accounts
      are used to separate and organize your company's campaigns and gift sends
      for different teams, departments or budget owners.
  - name: Campaigns
    description: >-
      A **Campaign** is the primary organizational object used to configure and
      send a batch of gifts. It acts as a template for all the settings of a
      single gifting initiative, including the target **Recipient** list, the
      selected **Collection** or **product**, the budget, branding, and
      notification messages.
  - name: Collections
    description: >-
      A **Collection** is a curated catalog of gift items tailored to a specific
      theme, budget range, and audience (e.g., "Birthday Gifts Under $50"). The
      gift recipient then chooses their preferred item directly from this
      collection.


      Use these endpoints to:

      - Get available collections based on budget and country requirements

      - Retrieve budget ranges for specific collections

      - Access collection details and products


      Please note: Swag collections can only be retrieved by specifying the
      accountId in the request.
  - name: Products & Variants
    description: >-
      Use these endpoints to search for and retrieve products and variants
      (including by collection and budget), and to list product tags for
      building catalog and filtering experiences in your UI.
  - name: Gifts
    description: >-
      A **Gift** is the core transactional object in the Snappy system. It
      represents the entire gifting experience for a **Recipient** within a
      **Campaign**, from initial creation to final delivery.


      The **Gift** object tracks the status and details through each stage of
      its lifecycle:

      1. **Creation:** The gift is initiated and associated with a recipient and
      campaign.

      2. **Notification:** The recipient is notified about their gift via email
      or other channels.

      3. **Selection:** The recipient selects a specific product from the gift
      collection (if applicable).

      4. **Order Generation:** An order is created based on the selected product
      and the recipient's shipping address.

      5. **Delivery:** The physical product is shipped and its delivery status
      is tracked to completion.
  - name: Orders
    description: >-
      Endpoints for programmatically claiming gifts (ordering on behalf of
      recipients), cancelling orders before they ship, and validating or
      autocompleting shipping addresses as part of your checkout or fulfillment
      flow.

        ## Company Level Authentication


        Company level authentication provides access to all resources under your
        company, including accounts, campaigns, gifts, and recipients.


        ### Getting Your API Key


        1. **Create an API Key**: Use the `POST /v2/authentication/apiKeys`
        endpoint to generate a new API key

        2. **Set Expiration**: Choose from 30, 60, 90, or 180 days (default: 90
        days)

        3. **Optional mTLS**: Enable mutual TLS for enhanced security

        4. **Name Your Key**: Provide a descriptive name for easy identification


        ### Using Your API Key


        Include your API key in the `X-Api-Key` header for every request:

        ```

        X-Api-Key: YOUR_24_CHARACTER_API_KEY

        ```


        ### API Key Management


        - **Maximum Keys**: Up to 3 active API keys per company

        - **Rotation**: Delete old keys before creating new ones when at the
        limit

        - **Security**: Keys are hashed and cannot be retrieved after creation


        ### Enhanced Security (mTLS)


        For production environments, enable mutual TLS authentication:

        1. Set `enforceMtls: true` when creating the API key

        2. Contact support to obtain your client certificates

        3. Use the mTLS endpoint: `https://mtls-api.snappy.com/public-api`
    BearerAuthentication:
      type: http
      scheme: bearer
      bearerFormat: JWT
      description: >-
        Bearer authentication provides access to all resources under your
        company, including accounts, campaigns, gifts, and recipients.
