openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Zavu API v2
  version: 2.0.0
  description: >-
    The second version of the Zavu API. It runs on the same engine as /v1: the
    same API keys, the same per-project rate limit, the same sending limits,
    prices and reviews. /v1 keeps working unchanged, and you can mix calls to
    both.


    **Addresses, not senders.** /v2 has no sender object. Where a message leaves
    from is named the way the recipient sees it: an E.164 number, an email
    address, `@botname` for Telegram, `@username` for Instagram, the Facebook
    Page id for Messenger, and the literal `sms_oneway` for one-way SMS (sent
    from shared numbers, never a number of your own). `GET /v2/channels` lists
    one entry per (address, type); a number that carries WhatsApp and SMS is two
    entries with the same address.


    **What else changes.** No `Zavu-Sender` header (`from` or `conversationId`
    instead); every send reports how it was routed; one project webhook carries
    every event; every error is `{code, message, details}` at the root.


    **Wrong method.** A path under `/v2/messages`, `/v2/conversations`,
    `/v2/contacts`, `/v2/channels`, `/v2/templates`, `/v2/campaigns`,
    `/v2/agents`, `/v2/webhook` or `/v2/email-domains` called with a method it
    does not take answers `405 method_not_allowed`, with `details.allowed` and
    an `Allow` header.


    **Money.** Every amount is USD, rounded to 6 decimals.

        <address>.`, with the address in `details` under the name the request
        used (`from` or `address`). A `message` is written for the caller and

            Machine-readable context. Keys that mean the same thing everywhere:

            - `errors`: present on every `400 invalid_request` for an invalid
            body or query parameter, `[{path, message, ...}]`, `path` naming the
            field (`["to"]`, `["contacts", 2, "recipient"]`, `["limit"]`).

            - `recommendation`: one sentence saying what to do next.

            - `dashboardUrl`: the dashboard screen that fixes it.

            - `connect`: on `409 no_channel`, the channels this project can
            connect to reach the recipient, each `{type, request, note,
            available, dashboardUrl?}`; `request` is the exact call (`POST
            /v2/channels` with its body, or `POST /v2/numbers`), or null for a
            channel connected from the dashboard (WhatsApp, Instagram,
            Messenger). `available: false` says why in `note` (one-way SMS
            closed until business verification is approved).

            - `address` / `from`: the address the error is about, under the name
            the request used for it.
