## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.json post /campaigns/{campaign_id}/start
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Kejue Public API
  description: >-
    The Kejue Public API lets you programmatically create calls, manage
    campaigns, and retrieve call results.


    ## Authentication


    All requests require an API key passed in the `X-API-Key` header:


    ```

    X-API-Key: kej_live_...

    ```


    API keys are scoped to a workspace. Create and manage keys from the Kejue
    dashboard under **Settings → API Keys**.


    ## Base URL


    ```

    https://api.kejue.co/api/v1

    ```


    ## Rate Limits


    API requests are rate-limited per workspace. If you exceed the limit you'll
    receive a `429 Too Many Requests` response.


    ## Errors


    All error responses follow a consistent format:


    ```json

    {
      "error": "Human-readable message",
      "code": "ERROR_CODE",
      "details": {}
    }

    ```

tags:
  - name: Agents
    description: >-
      Create and manage AI agents (personas). Each agent has a name, prompt,
      voice configuration, and optional tools. Agents are the core building
      block — attach voice configs, tools, and use them to make calls.
  - name: Calls
    description: >-
      Create outbound calls, retrieve call details and transcripts, and list
      calls with filtering. Each call is associated with a contact and
      optionally an agent and campaign.
  - name: Persona Calls
    description: >-
      Create calls with the full agent configuration pre-loaded. Applies the
      complete settings hierarchy (workspace → agent → campaign → overrides)
      with all agent tools, tags, scoring, and webhooks inherited automatically.
  - name: Contacts
    description: >-
      Create and manage contacts. Contacts represent the people your agents
      call. Each contact has a phone number, name, and optional metadata.
      Supports single creation, bulk import, and CSV upload.
  - name: Campaigns
    description: >-
      Create and manage calling campaigns. Campaigns let you batch-call a list
      of contacts with shared settings, scheduling, and retry logic.
  - name: Tools
    description: >-
      Create and manage custom HTTP tools that agents can invoke during calls.
      Tools let agents fetch data, trigger actions, or integrate with external
      systems mid-conversation.


      Each tool supports three parameter types:

      - **Dynamic parameters** — filled by the AI at runtime (visible to the AI)

      - **Static parameters** — fixed values sent with every invocation (hidden
      from the AI)

      - **System parameters** — values injected from the execution context at
      runtime, such as `call_id`, `contact_id`, or `workspace_id` (hidden from
      the AI)
  - name: Voices
    description: List available voices for use in agent voice configurations.
  - name: Phone Numbers
    description: List phone numbers available in your workspace for making outbound calls.
  - name: Webhooks
    description: >-
      Create and manage webhook subscriptions. Receive real-time notifications
      for call events (started, ended, etc.) at your specified URL.
  - name: Models
    description: List available AI models for use in agent voice configurations.
