## OpenAPI

````yaml post /v1/tasks
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: ClinikAPI
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    ClinikAPI is a managed healthcare infrastructure platform providing a
    developer-friendly REST API

    for storing, querying, and managing clinical data using the FHIR R4
    standard.


    ## Authentication

    All endpoints (except `/v1/metadata` and `/health`) require an API key via
    the `x-api-key` header.

    - Production keys: `clk_live_*`

    - Test/sandbox keys: `clk_test_*`


    ## Response Format

    All responses are wrapped in `{ data: T, meta: { requestId, timestamp,
    status, rateLimitTotal, rateLimitRemaining, rateLimitReset } }`.


    ## Rate Limits

    Rate limits are plan-based and returned in response headers:

    - `X-RateLimit-Limit` — total requests allowed per window

    - `X-RateLimit-Remaining` — requests remaining

    - `X-RateLimit-Reset` — seconds until window resets


    ## Overages

    Requests beyond your plan limit are charged at $0.003/request.
