## OpenAPI

````yaml patch /event_subscriptions/{id}
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: ngrok OpenAPI
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    The ngrok REST API at https://api.ngrok.com provides programmatic access to
    provision and configure every ngrok resource: endpoints, domains, API keys,
    IP policies, tunnels, certificates, and more. Full documentation:
    https://ngrok.com/docs/api


    **Authentication:** Send an API key as a bearer token: "Authorization:
    Bearer {API key}". Create and revoke keys at
    https://dashboard.ngrok.com/api-keys or via the /api_keys resource. Requests
    without credentials receive an error with code ERR_NGROK_200.


    **Versioning and deprecation policy:** Every request must include the
    "ngrok-version: 2" header; a missing header returns HTTP 400 with error code
    ERR_NGROK_218. Version 2 is the current version; all earlier versions are
    deprecated. ngrok never makes breaking changes to a published API version.
    Breaking changes ship only as a new version that clients explicitly opt in
    to via this header. Additive changes (new resources, methods, and fields,
    and bug fixes that match documented behavior) may ship to a live version.
    Full policy: https://ngrok.com/docs/api#versioning-and-api-stability


    **Rate limits:** By default, the API allows 120 requests per rolling
    60-second window per account; some plans have higher limits. Exceeding the
    limit returns HTTP 429 with error code ERR_NGROK_226; wait for the window to
    pass before retrying. Details: https://ngrok.com/docs/errors/err_ngrok_226


    **Errors:** Every 4xx and 5xx response carries the Error schema: the
    status_code, a human-readable msg, and in most cases a globally unique
    machine-readable error_code and a details object. Every error code is
    documented at https://ngrok.com/docs/errors
