## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json patch /properties/{id}
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: SiteVisit AI API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Public REST API for SiteVisit AI. Read and write properties, site visits,
    and action items from your account. 


    ## Authentication


    Authenticate with a `Bearer sv_live_...` token issued in Settings →
    Developers. Two key modes are supported:


    - **Live keys (`sv_live_*`)** — operate on your real customer data. Counts
    against plan limits, fires real webhooks + PostHog activation events.

    - **Test keys (`sv_test_*`)** — operate on a parallel sandbox dataset (every
    resource is tagged `isTest=true`). Test data is free + unmetered, never
    counts against plan limits, and never crosses into live data. Use for
    development + integration testing without touching production.


    Test-mode webhook endpoints (configured with `mode=test` in the Settings UI)
    only receive events triggered by test keys; live endpoints only receive live
    events. Webhook payloads include a `livemode: bool` flag so receivers can
    branch without parsing the resource.
