    Public HTTP API for the Flashduty incident management platform — incidents,
    notification templates, channels, schedules, monitors, RUM, and platform
    administration. Every operation is authenticated with an `app_key` query
    parameter issued from the Flashduty console under Account → APP Keys.
    Responses follow a uniform envelope: `{ request_id, data }` on success, `{
    request_id, error }` on failure.

        | Code | HTTP | Meaning |

        |---|---|---|

        | `OK` | 200 | Reserved — not returned on real errors. |

        | `InvalidParameter` | 400 | A required parameter is missing or failed
        validation. |

        | `BadRequest` | 400 | Generic 400 used when no more specific code fits.

        Note: returned as HTTP 400, not 404 (historical choice). |

        | `NoLicense` | 400 | The feature is license-gated and no active license
        was found. |

        | `ReferenceExist` | 400 | Deletion blocked — other entities still
        reference this resource. |

        | `Unauthorized` | 401 | `app_key` is missing, invalid, or expired. |

        | `BalanceNotEnough` | 402 | Billing-gated operation with insufficient
        account balance. |

        | `AccessDenied` | 403 | Authenticated but lacking the permission
        required for this operation. |

        | `RouteNotFound` | 404 | The request URL path is not a known route. |

        | `MethodNotAllowed` | 405 | The HTTP method is not allowed on this
        otherwise-known path. |

        | `UndonedOrderExist` | 409 | An outstanding billing order blocks this
        new one. Wait and retry. |

        | `RequestLocked` | 423 | Operation temporarily locked due to repeated
        failures. |

        | `EntityTooLarge` | 413 | Request body exceeds the configured max size.
        |

        | `RequestTooFrequently` | 429 | Rate limit hit — API-global,
        per-account, or per-integration. |

        | `RequestVerifyRequired` | 428 | Second-factor verification required
        but not supplied. |

        | `DangerousOperation` | 428 | High-risk operation requires MFA
        verification. |

        | `InternalError` | 500 | Unhandled server-side error. Include
        `request_id` in the bug report. |

        | `ServiceUnavailable` | 503 | A backend dependency is unavailable. Try
