## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi/platform-apikey.yaml get /posts/{id}/metrics-history
openapi: 3.0.4
info:
  title: Sideshift Public API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    REST API for Sideshift platform. Authenticate using your API key in the
    `x-api-key` header.


    This document covers the **public, API-key-authenticated** surface. The

    restricted endpoints (Jobs, Applicants, payout execution/Quick Pay) are
    gated

    to an explicit partner allowlist and are documented in the **Full Access**

    spec (`sideshift-api-private.yaml`); a non-allowlisted key calling them

    receives `403`. API-key *management* (creating/rotating keys, digest

    automations) is performed in the dashboard with a Firebase session and is
    not

    part of this API-key contract.


    ## Requirements

    - **Active Subscription Required**: API access requires an active Sideshift
      subscription. Requests from a company without one return
      `402 { "error": "Active subscription required" }`.
    - API key from Settings → Integrations


    ## Rate Limits

    - Default: **100 requests per minute** per API key.

    - Allowlisted partner accounts: **400 requests per minute**.

    - Every response carries `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, and
      `X-RateLimit-Reset` headers; exceeding the limit returns `429`.

    ## Errors

    - Errors are returned as `{ "error": "<message>" }` with the appropriate
    HTTP
      status (`400` invalid request, `401` invalid/missing key, `402` no active
      subscription, `403` restricted endpoint / cross-company, `404` not found,
      `429` rate limited). Some endpoints add a `code` (e.g. `LEAD_NOT_FOUND`).

    ## Timestamps

    - All timestamps are Unix timestamps in milliseconds

    - Example: `1634567890000`


    ## Pagination

    - Most list endpoints support `page` (default: 1) and `limit` (default: 25,
      max: 100) parameters and return `{ data, page, total }`. Some additionally
      return `limit` and/or `totalPages`.
    - Agency (parent) accounts can pass `scope=agency` on analytics/posts
      endpoints to aggregate across the parent agency and every subaccount.
