## OpenAPI

````yaml https://app.usechar.ai/api/spec.json get /subscriptions/checkout
openapi: 3.1.1
info:
  title: Char API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    REST API for managing organizations, identity providers, end users, skills,
    threads, usage, and subscriptions.


    ## Authentication


    This API uses Bearer token authentication with WorkOS JWT tokens. Include
    the token in the Authorization header:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer <your-jwt-token>

    ```


    ## Authorization Levels


    - **Public endpoints**: No authentication required

    - **Protected endpoints**: Require valid JWT token (user authentication)

    - **Organization endpoints**: Require valid JWT token with organization
    context selected


    Most endpoints require organization context. Ensure your JWT token includes
    the `org_id` claim.


    ## Data Formats


    ### Allowed Domains

    The `allowed_domains` field is an array of origins (e.g.,
    `https://app.example.com`). It is stored as JSON internally but surfaced as
    an array in the API.


    ### Timestamps

    All timestamps are returned as ISO 8601 strings (e.g.,
    `"2025-01-15T10:30:00.000Z"`).


    ## Rate Limits


    No application-level rate limiting is currently enforced.


    ## Error Responses


    All errors follow a consistent format:


    ```json

    {
      "code": "ERROR_CODE",
      "status": 400,
      "message": "Human-readable error message",
      "data": { /* optional additional details */ }
    }

    ```
