If rank is not provided, the status is added at the end of the pipeline. ## OpenAPI ````yaml openapi.json post /accounts/{account_id}/company-statuses openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Roulette API version: 1.0.0 description: > The Roulette API provides programmatic access to manage your VC deal flow, companies, contacts, and related data. ## Authentication All API requests require authentication using a Bearer token. Include your API key in the `Authorization` header: ``` Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY ``` You can generate API keys from your account settings in the Roulette dashboard. ## Rate Limiting API requests are rate limited to ensure fair usage. Current limits: - 1000 requests per minute per API key - 100 requests per second per API key Rate limit headers are included in all responses: - `X-RateLimit-Limit`: Maximum requests per window - `X-RateLimit-Remaining`: Requests remaining in current window - `X-RateLimit-Reset`: Unix timestamp when the window resets ## Pagination List endpoints support cursor-based pagination using the following query parameters: - `page`: Page number (default: 1) - `limit`: Items per page (default: 25, max: 100) Paginated responses include pagination metadata: ```json { "data": [...], "pagination": { "page": 1, "limit": 25, "has_next": true, "has_prev": false } } ``` **Note**: For performance reasons, total counts (`total`, `total_pages`) are not included. Use `has_next` and `has_prev` to determine if more pages exist. ## Errors The API uses standard HTTP status codes and returns errors in a consistent format: ```json { "success": false, "error": "Human readable error message", "data": null } ``` Common status codes: - `400` Bad Request - Invalid parameters or request body - `401` Unauthorized - Missing or invalid API key - `403` Forbidden - Valid API key but insufficient permissions - `404` Not Found - Resource not found - `429` Too Many Requests - Rate limit exceeded - `500` Internal Server Error - Server-side error termsOfService: https://www.useroulette.com/terms contact: name: Roulette API Support email: support@useroulette.com url: https://www.useroulette.com/support license: name: Proprietary url: https://www.useroulette.com/license servers: - url: https://www.useroulette.com/api/v1 description: Production server - url: http://localhost:3000/api/v1 description: Local development server security: - BearerAuth: [] tags: - name: Companies description: > Manage companies in your deal flow pipeline.
