# Liveness probe

> Touches nothing external, so a database outage cannot make an
orchestrator restart otherwise healthy nodes.




## OpenAPI

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Qanapi Standalone API
  version: 3.0.0
  summary: Single-tenant encryption, key management, classification and audit service.
  description: >
    A standalone cryptographic service. Callers hand it data and it returns

    ciphertext, or hand it ciphertext and it returns data, with every operation

    authorised by policy and recorded on a tamper-evident audit trail.


    ## Authentication


    Two credentials reach the same principal:


    - **API key** in `X-Qanapi-Authorization`, for machine callers. A key
    reaches
      only the configurations it is linked to.
    - **User bearer token** in `Authorization`, from `POST /api/v3/auth/login`,
      for a person working through a console.

    An API key outranks a bearer token when a request carries both, because a

    key names a narrower credential than the user that owns it.


    ## Request bodies


    Endpoints that take a JSON body require `Content-Type: application/json`.

    The two encryption endpoints are the exception: in whole-body mode they

    accept any bytes at all, whatever the content type says.


    ## Errors


    Every error body carries `message`, which is human readable, and `error`, a

    stable machine readable code that clients can branch on. Validation failures

    additionally carry an `errors` object keyed by the field each message

    concerns; a failure with no single field to blame is filed under `request`.


    ## Rate limiting


    Every response carries `X-RateLimit-Limit` and `X-RateLimit-Remaining`. The

    window is per node and keyed on the client address, so a cluster of n nodes

    admits n times the configured figure.


    `POST /api/v3/auth/login` is limited separately and more strictly, ten a

    minute against sixty, because it needs no credential to reach and each

    attempt costs a full password verification. A successful login clears that

    budget, so the stricter limit falls on failed attempts rather than on

    legitimate sign-ins.


    ## Correlation


    Send `X-Request-Id` to tie a request to your own trace. The value is

    preserved on the audit record and echoed on the response, provided it is at

    most 64 characters of letters, digits, `-`, `_`, `.` or `:`; anything else

    is replaced with a generated id. Omit the header and one is generated for

    you.


    ## End-to-end encrypted requests and responses


    Any endpoint accepts a request body wrapped as an RFC 7516 JWE, so the

    payload is unreadable by anything between your client and this service,

    including the reverse proxy that terminates TLS. Wrap the JSON body to the

    key from `GET /api/v3/qanapi-public-key` and send it with

    `Content-Type: application/jose`; `application/jwt` and

    `application/jose+json` are accepted too, and a body that is plainly a

    compact JWE is recognised even without one of those content types. Where the

    installation requires it, the wrapped payload must carry `iat`, `exp` and

    `jti` claims, which also make each payload single-use.


    To have the **response** wrapped in turn, send

    `X-Qanapi-Wrap-With-Key-Id` naming an RSA key held in this service's KMS

    that you hold the private half of. The response then arrives as a compact

    JWE with `Content-Type: application/jose`. The header spelling

    `wrap_with_key_id` is accepted as well. The wrapping key is resolved with

    the same permission a plain key read needs, so a caller who may not read

    that key gets an error instead of a wrapped body.
