  title: paywise Mahnservice API
  version: v1
  description: >-
    Public REST API for the paywise Mahnservice (pre-collection dunning), an
    alternative input path to the bookkeeping integrations (Lexware Office,
    sevDesk) and the CSV import.


    Authentication uses a Bearer token (the same token works for the Inkasso
    API). Each token is bound to a company and a legacy access mode: `test` or
    `production`. Access mode is a data-isolation lane, not the API environment:
    modern credentials use `production` in both production and sandbox. Read
    `/info/`'s `environment` (`production` or `sandbox`) to identify the
    environment serving your request.


    Resources: token introspection (`/info/`), debtors (create/list/get), and
    the invoice lifecycle -- submit (held), upload the invoice PDF (multipart or
    base64; scanned asynchronously, poll the document `status`), release for
    dunning, report payments, cancel / write off, and read the dunning state
    (`dunning_state`, the dunning flow and the sent dunnings with their fees),
    pause and resume the dunning, and read the dunning-flow configuration
    (`/dunning-flows/`). Webhooks notify you about `invoice.created`,
    `invoice.paid`, `invoice.cancelled`, `invoice.written_off`,
    `dunning.level_advanced` and `dunning.handed_to_collection`. Test-mode
    invoices are visible everywhere but never dunned, and their events only
    reach test-mode endpoints.


    Contract: requests are JSON only (documents may also be multipart); unknown
    or read-only body fields and unknown query parameters are rejected with
    `400`; list pages take `limit` (1-100, default 10) and `offset`. Errors are
    English and machine-readable: every error body is `{detail, code[, errors]}`
    -- branch on `code` (`validation_error` with per-field `errors`,
    `not_authenticated`, `permission_denied` -- the token lacks the scope,
    `subscription_required` -- no active Mahnservice subscription (writes other
    than payment reporting), `company_locked` -- the account is locked by
    paywise (every write), `not_found`, `unsupported_media_type`,
    `request_too_large`, `throttled`, `unexpected_body`, and the documented
    `409` codes). A repeat submission of an invoice number that was cancelled,
    written off or archived is a `409` (`invoice_cancelled` /
    `invoice_written_off` / `invoice_archived`), not a replay. `HEAD` mirrors
    `GET` and never writes. Every response carries `X-Paywise-Request-Id`,
    `X-Paywise-Environment` and `Cache-Control: private, no-store`. Token scopes
    apply: `mahnservice:debtors:read` / `:write` and `mahnservice:invoices:read`
    / `:write` (a `:write` grant includes `:read`; keys minted with the full `*`
    grant have everything). Rate limits: 600 requests per minute per key and per
    company, shared with the Case Management API, plus per-operation windows of
    600 reads or 120 writes per minute; a `429` carries `Retry-After`.
