asyncapi_note: >-
  Seamless.AI publishes no AsyncAPI document. Probed /asyncapi.yaml and /asyncapi.json on
  docs.seamless.ai and api.seamless.ai and checked the SeamlessAI GitHub org (2 public repos,
  neither an event spec). The provider does document a real webhook surface, captured below as a
  Webhooks catalog. No AsyncAPI is fabricated.

description: >-
  Seamless.AI delivers completed enrichment results by webhook as the push alternative to polling
  the research endpoints. Subscriptions are configured in the app, not by API.

transport: https
delivery: at-least-once
delivery_note: >-
  A non-2xx response is treated as a delivery failure and "may" be retried. The provider does not
  publish a retry schedule, a maximum attempt count, or a dead-letter behaviour.

subscription:
  managed_by: dashboard
  url: https://login.seamless.ai/settings/webhooks
  api_manageable: false
  note: >-
    There is no REST or MCP operation to create, list or delete a webhook. Endpoints and the
    shared secret are configured by a human in Settings -> Webhooks.

requirements:
  - Endpoint must be publicly reachable over HTTPS. Localhost and private IPs cannot receive deliveries.
  - Endpoint must accept POST with a JSON body.
  - Endpoint must return a 2xx status after processing.

security:
  scheme: shared-secret-header
  header: x-seamless-webhook-secret
  signature: false
  hmac: false
  timestamp: false
  replay_protection: false
  declared_in_openapi: true
  openapi_scheme_name: webhookSecret
  note: >-
    Verification is a plain equality check against a secret configured in the dashboard. There is
    no HMAC over the payload and no timestamp, so a receiver cannot detect replay and the secret
    is exposed to anyone who can read the request. Compare in constant time and treat the secret
    as a bearer credential.

event_count: 2
events:
  - name: company-researched
    fires_when: Company research completes.
    payload: Company object, matching the Company Research response in the public API reference.
    correlation_field: apiResearchId
    correlation_note: >-
      apiResearchId on the payload equals the requestId returned by POST /companies/research.
      Use it to match a delivery to an in-flight job.
