## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/v2.0/openapi.json patch /agents/{agent}/contact-knowledge/{id}
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Shortext API
  description: >-
    **Versioning**: every version is a frozen contract. A released version only
    receives additive changes

    (new endpoints, new optional fields, new response fields); anything breaking
    ships in a new version.

    Responses carry `X-Shortext-Api-Version`. When a version is scheduled for
    removal, responses also carry

    `Deprecation` and `Sunset` headers; after the sunset date the version
    answers HTTP 410.

    The list of versions and their status is available at `GET /api/versions`.


    **Responses**: always HTTP 200. Check `success` and `code` (`1000` =
    success), see `ApiEnvelope`.

    On failure, `trace_id` identifies the request for support.


    **Rate limit**: 300 requests per minute per company, shared by all its keys
    and by every API version.

    Responses carry `X-RateLimit-Limit` and `X-RateLimit-Remaining`; beyond the
    limit the API answers

    HTTP 429 with `Retry-After` (seconds) and the usual envelope. Prefer
    webhooks to polling.
