    The Sailer REST API for CRM, conversations, and campaigns.


    **Authentication.** Send a token as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. A
    workspace

    token (`sk_live_...`) is created by a workspace administrator and its secret
    is

    shown once. An OAuth access token (`oat_live_...`) acts on behalf of the
    person

    who authorized it and sees only what they can see. Either way the workspace
    is

    implied by the token, so no tenant header is needed. Each token carries
    scopes;

    `GET /v1/me` lists them.


    **Pagination.** Collections return `{data, meta, links}`. Pass `links.next`
    back

    as `cursor` until it is `null`. Cursors are opaque and only valid for the
    query

    that produced them.


    **Errors.** Every non-2xx response is `{"error": {...}}` with a coarse
    `type`, a

    stable `code` and the offending `param`. Quote `error.request_id` (also the

    `X-Request-ID` header) when contacting support.


    **Retries.** Send an `Idempotency-Key` header on any write to make retrying
    it

    safe for 24 hours.


    **Rate limits.** Limits are per token. Every response carries

    `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining` and `X-RateLimit-Reset`; a
    `429`

    also carries `Retry-After`.


    **Custom fields.** Workspace-defined fields appear under `custom_fields`,
    keyed

    by field key. `GET /v1/fields` lists every field on a resource, built-in and

    custom.
