The API reference shows /api/public, read from a copy of the OpenAPI document the API itself publishes in the sandbox; a check compares the copy with the sandbox every two hours. Every operation has its own address (/reference/<surface>/<operationId>) with the permission it needs, its parameters, body and responses, error codes that link to their pages, and example calls in cURL, Node, Python and C#. The guides' calls are read from the same document and link to their reference page. Import the spec into Postman or a client generator from /openapi/api-public.json.
