  description: >-
    The SignSealShip partner API: create Verified Closing Rooms, seal Closing
    Passports and Proof Passports, and manage webhooks. Partner endpoints
    authenticate with a bearer key (`Authorization: Bearer sss_pk_...`); public
    verification endpoints need no key — possession of the verify, room, or
    order code is the authorization. See the Guides for full prose, rate limits,
    and signature verification.
