## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /v1/voices/builtin
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: TopCalls Voice API
  description: >
    TopCalls Voice Gateway API for creating and managing AI-powered phone calls.


    ## Authentication


    All API requests require authentication. Include your API key in the
    `Authorization` header:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer tc_live_xxxxx

    ```


    ## Rate Limits


    Direct call creation via `POST /v1/calls` is limited to your account's

    `max_calls_per_minute` setting (default: 20) per minute. Exceeding it
    returns

    `429 Too Many Requests` with a `Retry-After` header.

    All endpoints are additionally subject to a flat limit of 120 requests per

    minute per account (all methods).


    On a `429`, wait for the number of seconds in the `Retry-After` header, then

    retry the same request. For automated clients, back off progressively on

    repeated `429`s. Limits are per account and are shared by all API keys.


    ## Error Format


    All errors follow RFC 7807 Problem+JSON format:


    ```json

    {
      "type": "https://api.topcalls.ai/errors/insufficient_quota",
      "title": "Insufficient Quota",
      "status": 402,
      "detail": "You need 5 minutes but have 3.5 remaining"
    }

    ```
