Required scopes: `tasks.write`.

info:
  title: PRINTOOLS API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The PRINTOOLS public REST API. This document is generated from the live
    route table and service GraphQL SDL; do not edit it by hand.


    Every 2xx response has {status, message, data}. Every non-2xx response has
    {error, message, status: false}.


    Tenant credential: send X-API-Key only. It is bound to one shop.
    X-PrintTools-Organization-Id is optional for that credential and, if sent,
    must match its shop.


    Partner credential: send X-API-Key, X-API-Secret, Authorization: Bearer
    <Cognito access token>, and X-PrintTools-Organization-Id. The OAuth flow is
    documented at https://app.printools.io/api/index.html#partner-auth.


    Read live limits from GET /v1/reference/limits. Field shapes are projected
    from operation declarations; local endpoints have explicit handler-derived
    schemas.
