## OpenAPI

````yaml https://static.habitify.me/Habitify%20API%20v2.json post /habits/{habitId}/logs/skipped
openapi: 3.1.1
info:
  title: Habitify API v2
  description: >
    Welcome to our REST API. Use it to programmatically access your habit
    tracking data, build integrations, and automate workflows.


    ## Authentication

    All endpoints require authentication using an API key passed in the
    `X-API-Key` header.


    To generate your API key, open our app and go to **Settings > API**. Only
    one API key can be active at a time — generating a new key automatically
    revokes the previous one.


    > **Note:** API access requires a paid subscription and is not available on
    the free plan.


    ### Example Request

    ```

    curl -X GET https://api.habitify.me/v2/habits \
      -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
    ```


    ## Rate Limiting

    We enforce a rate limit of **500 requests per minute** per account. If you
    exceed this limit, we will respond with a `429 Too Many Requests` status
    code. Wait for the rate limit window to reset before making additional
    requests.


    ## Versioning

    This is version 2 of our API. All endpoints are prefixed with `/v2`.
