summary: >-
  Cross-cutting request/response semantics for the Evercontact REST API, captured
  from the published API documentation. The API is bearer-authenticated, versioned
  under a /v1 URI path, idempotent on writes, and rate-limit friendly. Relationship
  changes are exposed as a paginated event stream and delivered via webhooks.
authentication:
  style: bearer-token
  header: Authorization
  see: authentication/evercontact-authentication.yml
versioning:
  style: uri-path
  current: v1
  see: lifecycle/evercontact-lifecycle.yml
idempotency:
  supported: true
  evidence: >-
    The API documentation states the endpoints are "idempotent" so that repeated
    delivery of the same request does not create duplicate contact records.
  header: null
  notes: >-
    Idempotency is documented as a property of the write endpoints (parse/enrich);
    the specific idempotency-key header name is not published on the marketing docs
    page. Confirm the exact header with the provider before relying on it.
pagination:
  style: cursor
  surface: GET /v1/events
  response_fields: []
  notes: >-
    The events endpoint is documented as a "paginated stream of relationship
    changes"; page/cursor parameter names are not published on the docs page.
webhooks:
  supported: true
  events:
  - contact.created
  - contact.updated
  - company.linked
  registration: POST /v1/webhooks
  see: asyncapi/evercontact-webhooks.yml
rate_limiting:
  documented: true
  notes: >-
    Endpoints are described as "rate-limit friendly"; specific limits, quotas, and
    response headers (e.g. X-RateLimit-*) are not published on the docs page.
error_envelope:
  format: json
  notes: >-
    Responses are JSON; the provider does not publish a formal error-envelope schema
    or an RFC 9457 problem+json contract on the public docs page.
data_export:
  warehouse:
  - Snowflake
  - BigQuery
  notes: Mirroring to Snowflake and BigQuery is offered for warehouse integration.
