    ## Overview


    The Meow API provides financial services and billing capabilities for your
    business.


    ### Core Features


    - **Financial data access**: access account information, transactions,
    balances, and payment networks.

    - **Crypto operations**: create and manage crypto contacts, and initiate
    USDC transfers across blockchain networks.


    ### Billing API


    The Billing API lets you create and manage invoices and collect payments:


    - **Product management**: create and manage products with custom pricing.

    - **Customer management**: maintain invoicing customers with their
    addresses.

    - **Invoice creation**: generate invoices with line items, discounts, and
    custom notes.

    - **Payment options**: accept payments via ACH, wire, international wire,
    card, and USDC.

    - **Collection accounts**: configure accounts for payment collection.


    ### Getting Started


    Authenticate by sending your API key in the `x-api-key` request header.


    To scope requests to a specific entity, include the `x-entity-id` header.
    Use the `/api-keys/accessible-entities` endpoint to list all entities
    accessible by your API key.


    ### Error Responses


    Errors return JSON with `code`, `message`, and `debug_message`. The `code`
    aligns with FDX where possible; use `debug_message` for troubleshooting
    only.


    Common error codes:


    - `500`: Internal server error

    - `501`: Subsystem unavailable

    - `503`: Scheduled maintenance

    - `601`: Data not found

    - `602`: Customer not authorized

    - `701`: Account not found

    - `703`: Invalid input (including invalid date ranges)

    - `704`: Account type not supported

    - `705`: Account is closed

    - `801`: Transaction not found
