  title: Cherry API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Cherry's public developer API — programmatic access to a business's books as
    Cherry keeps them: bank transactions with their categorizations, the chart
    of accounts, the double-entry journal, financial statements, legal entities,
    the tax-obligation calendar, the fiscal health score, and company
    incorporations (formation, EIN, and state filings).


    Authenticate every request with an API key: `Authorization: Bearer
    ck_live_…`. Keys are created in the Cherry app and are scoped to one
    business (tenant) — there is no tenant id in any URL. Keys carry a `read`
    and/or `write` scope; every GET needs `read`, mutations need `write`.


    Conventions: successful responses wrap the payload in `{ "data": … }`; list
    endpoints add `{ "meta": { "pagination": { limit, offset, nextOffset } } }`
    — pass `nextOffset` back as `offset` until it is null. Errors are `{
    "error": string, "reason"?: string }` with conventional status codes. Dates
    are `YYYY-MM-DD`; money amounts are numbers in the row's currency. Requests
    are rate-limited per key with token buckets (429 + `Retry-After` when
    exhausted); report generation has a smaller budget than plain reads.
