  title: API Evangelist enhancements for the Nexla REST API
  version: 1.0.0
extends: ../openapi/nexla-rest-api-openapi.yml
x-generated: '2026-08-26'
x-method: generated
x-source: >-
  Derived from the harvested Nexla Rest API (https://docs.nexla.com/redocusaurus/plugin-redoc-0.yaml) plus
  the documented conventions in conventions/nexla-conventions.yml, errors/nexla-problem-types.yml,
  rate-limits/nexla-rate-limits.yml and lifecycle/nexla-lifecycle.yml. The original spec is never mutated.
actions:
- target: $.info
  description: >-
    Record the concrete production base URL, the media-type version negotiation, the documented error
    envelope and the absence of an idempotency mechanism, all of which live in the docs and not the contract.
  update:
    x-api-evangelist-notes:
      production_base_url: https://dataops.nexla.io/nexla-api
      accept_header: application/vnd.nexla.api.v1+json
      error_envelope_documented_at: https://docs.nexla.com/dev-guides/authentication/error-handling
      idempotency: none
      reversibility: 'pause/activate are reversible; all 44 DELETE operations are terminal — no restore endpoint exists'
- target: $.servers
  description: >-
    The published server is templated on {nexla-api-host} with default dataops.nexla.io/nexla-api, which
    is correct for self-hosted and VPC deployments. Annotate the multi-tenant SaaS host explicitly so a
    client that cannot resolve a variable still has a callable URL.
  update:
    x-api-evangelist-default-host: dataops.nexla.io/nexla-api
    x-api-evangelist-host-note: >-
      Enterprise customers run private-VPC and on-premise deployments on their own host; the variable is
      correct and deliberately not replaced.
- target: $.components.responses
  description: >-
    Add the documented error envelope as a reusable schema. 248 operations declare a 403 and 168 declare a
    401, but only one declares a body — a generated client cannot type its errors today.
  update:
    ApiEvangelistNexlaError:
      description: Documented Nexla error envelope (not RFC 9457).
      content:
        application/json:
          schema:
            type: object
            properties:
              error: {type: string, description: Machine-readable error type.}
              error_description: {type: string, description: Human-readable description.}
              error_code: {type: string, description: 'Specific code, e.g. AUTH_001, RATE_001, VAL_001.'}
              timestamp: {type: string, format: date-time}
              request_id: {type: string, description: Mirrors the x-request-id response header.}
              details: {type: object, additionalProperties: true}
- target: $.components.parameters
  description: Add the documented pagination parameters, which appear per-operation rather than as reusable components.
  update:
    ApiEvangelistPage:
      name: page
      in: query
      description: Page number to return.
      schema: {type: integer, minimum: 1}
    ApiEvangelistPerPage:
      name: per_page
      in: query
      description: Number of objects per page.
      schema: {type: integer, minimum: 1}
- target: $.components.headers
  description: >-
    Declare the pagination and tracing response headers Nexla actually returns. The contract declares NO
    response headers on any of its 274 operations, so an agent reading only the spec cannot page or trace.
  update:
    ApiEvangelistLink:
      description: 'RFC 5988 links with rel="Previous" and rel="Next".'
      schema: {type: string}
    ApiEvangelistXTotalCount:
      description: Total number of matching objects.
      schema: {type: integer}
    ApiEvangelistXCurrentPage:
      description: Current page number.
      schema: {type: integer}
    ApiEvangelistXPageCount:
      description: Total number of pages.
      schema: {type: integer}
    ApiEvangelistXRequestId:
      description: Per-request trace identifier; observed on live responses and mirrored into the error envelope.
      schema: {type: string}
