## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi/public-v1.json get /v1/businesses/{id}/tasks
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: NextLevel MCA Public API
  description: >-
    REST API for the NextLevel MCA deal platform. Objects flow Businesses →
    People → Deals → Submissions → Offers → Advances.


    **Authentication.** Send `Authorization: Bearer <key>` with an API key
    (`nlmca_live_…`, created in Settings → Developers) or an OAuth access token.
    Keys are scoped to one location.


    **Conventions.** JSON only. Cursor pagination (`limit` ≤ 100, `cursor` from
    `meta.next_cursor`). Every success is `{ data, meta }`; every error is `{
    error: { type, message, code, param, request_id } }`. POST endpoints accept
    `Idempotency-Key` (24h replay). Rate limit 300 requests/min per credential
    (`X-RateLimit-*` headers).


    **Scopes.** Keys with no scopes have all of them. Otherwise:

    - `businesses:read` — Read businesses and their notes, tasks and activity

    - `businesses:write` — Create and update businesses, notes and tasks

    - `people:read` — Read people (contacts and owners)

    - `people:write` — Create and update people

    - `deals:read` — Read deals, submissions and the pipeline

    - `deals:write` — Create and update deals, move stages

    - `documents:read` — Read documents and statement analysis

    - `documents:write` — Upload documents and request documents from merchants

    - `lenders:read` — Read lenders, criteria and lender matches

    - `lenders:write` — Create and update lenders and criteria

    - `submissions:write` — Submit deals to lenders and withdraw submissions

    - `offers:read` — Read offers

    - `offers:write` — Log and update offers, set the primary offer

    - `advances:read` — Read funded advances and renewal flags

    - `advances:write` — Update advances

    - `portal:send` — Generate and send merchant portal links

    - `webhooks:manage` — Manage webhook subscriptions
