  title: Need Alert API
  version: '1'
  description: >-
    The Need Alert API lets your own system — an ERP, an online store, a
    clinic's scheduling software — do what the panel does, without anyone at the
    screen: keep items in sync, read who is waiting, estimate the cost of an
    alert, send or schedule it, and follow your credit balance.


    Authenticate every request with an API key created by the chain owner in the
    panel (**Integrações**), sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. Always send
    `Accept: application/json`. Send `Idempotency-Key` on the two creating
    endpoints so a retry never creates an item or alerts the subscribers twice.
