  title: BuildingSwell Public API
  version: 2.0.0
  description: >
    The BuildingSwell v2 public API. Every request needs an `X-API-Key` header,
    and

    every key is scoped to one organization, so you only ever see your own data.


    Base URL: `https://app.buildingswell.com/api/v2`


    Most resources share the same CRUD and query shape. Read the

    [standard endpoints](/guides/standard-endpoints) and

    [querying](/guides/querying) guides once and the rest of this reference
    follows

    the same rules. For what a delete actually removes, see

    [archiving and deleting](/guides/archiving-and-deleting).
