openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Orriven Developer API
  version: '2026-08-22'
  description: >-
    Workspace-scoped access to events, ticket types, registrations, redemption
    codes, add-ons, bundles, orders (read-only) and check-ins. Authenticate
    every request with `Authorization: Bearer <secret>`; the key's business unit
    is the entire scope, and a resource outside it answers 404, never 403.


    **Versioning** — the API uses date versions (this spec documents
    `2026-08-22`, the current one). A key is pinned to the version current at
    its creation and keeps that behaviour forever; send an `Orriven-Version:
    YYYY-MM-DD` header to serve a single request in another version (unknown
    dates answer 400). Every response echoes the effective version in the
    `Orriven-Version` response header.
