## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/specs/notifications.yaml get /v1/subscription-confirmations/{token}
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Basaltic Notifications API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: |
    Publish/subscribe notification topics with email and webhook delivery.

    A topic is a fan-out root. Subscriptions bind it to endpoints;
    publishing to the topic delivers to every confirmed subscription
    whose filter policy matches the message.

    **Publishing is asynchronous.** Publish returns 202 as soon as the
    notification is durable and queued: no delivery has happened yet.
    Fan-out into per-subscription deliveries runs on a worker, so
    publish latency does not grow with subscriber count. Poll
    `GET /v1/messages/{message_id}` for the fan-out state and
    `GET /v1/deliveries?message_id=...` for per-endpoint outcomes.

    **Subscriptions must be confirmed.** Subscribe creates the
    subscription in `pending_confirmation` and sends a token to the
    endpoint — a link for email, a `subscription_confirmation` POST for
    webhooks. Nothing is delivered until the endpoint owner presents
    that token back. The confirmation window is 72 hours; unconfirmed
    subscriptions are reclaimed after it. If the handshake never
    arrived, `POST /v1/subscriptions/{id}/resend-confirmation` mints a
    fresh one — the original token is not recoverable, only its hash is
    stored.

    **Webhook endpoints must be publicly routable.** Endpoints resolving
    to loopback, RFC1918, link-local, or unique-local addresses are
    refused at subscribe time and again at delivery time.

    **Webhook deliveries are signed.** Each POST carries
    `X-Basaltic-Signature: v1,t=<unix-seconds>,s=<hex>`, an HMAC-SHA256
    over `"<t>.<raw-request-body>"` keyed by the subscription's signing
    secret. The secret is returned once by Subscribe and is readable
    afterwards via the signing-secret endpoint. Verify by recomputing
    the MAC over the raw body you received — not a re-serialised copy —
    and reject timestamps more than five minutes from now.

      description: >
        Request signing with an access key issued to a service account. An

        HMAC-SHA256 over a canonical form of the request, close to AWS SigV4.

        The `basaltic` CLI signs for you.


        Send `Authorization`, `X-Date` (UTC, `YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ`) and `X-Nonce`

        (random per request); add `X-Content-Sha256` to bind a body, and

        `X-Amz-Security-Token` when using temporary credentials.


        ```

        Authorization: BASALTIC-HMAC-SHA256
        Credential=<access_key_id>/<date>/<region>/basaltic/basaltic_request,
        SignedHeaders=host;x-date;x-nonce, Signature=<hex>

        ```


        `<region>` is the region code you are calling, or `global` for the
        global

        services. A signature is valid for 5 minutes from `X-Date`, and mutating

        requests are replay-guarded on the nonce.

        ## Rate limits

        There is no global request budget. A limit applies only where an

        operation documents a `429`, and that operation says what it counts.

        Those responses carry `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`,

        `X-RateLimit-Reset` and, on a `429`, `Retry-After` — read them rather

        than hard-coding a number. Retrying before `Retry-After` is refused and

        extends the window. Everything else is bounded by quota, not by request

        rate.
