+# API Contract v1.0
+
+## 1. Purpose
+
+This document defines the standard API communication contract between microservices.
+
+All services (.NET, Django, etc.) MUST follow these rules.
+
+---
+
+# 2. Communication
+
+Protocol:
+
+- HTTP REST
+- JSON
+- UTF-8
+
+Headers:
+
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+Accept: application/json
+
+---
+
+# 3. Base URL
+
+Format:
+
+/{resource}
+
+Example:
+
+GET /users
+
+---
+
+# 4. Naming
+
+Endpoints use nouns.
+
+Correct:
+
+GET /users
+POST /users
+GET /users/{id}
+
+Incorrect:
+
+GET /getUsers
+
+---
+
+JSON naming:
+
+camelCase
+
+Example:
+
+{
+ "firstName":"Ali",
+ "createdAt":"2026-06-18T10:00:00Z"
+}
+
+---
+
+# 5. HTTP Methods
+
+GET    Read
+POST   Create
+PUT    Replace/Update
+DELETE Remove
+
+---
+
+# 6. Success Response
+
+All successful responses:
+
+{
+ "data": {},
+ "requestId": "uuid"
+}
+
+Example:
+
+{
+ "data":{
+   "id":10,
+   "name":"Ali"
+ },
+ "requestId":"abc"
+}
+
+The requestId will be sent by the gateway.
+
+---
+
+# 7. Pagination
+
+Pagination data MUST be inside data.
+
+Example:
+
+{
+ "data":{
+   "items":[
+     {
+       "id":1
+     }
+   ],
+   "page":1,
+   "pageSize":20,
+   "total":100
+ },
+ "requestId":"abc"
+}
+
+---
+
+# 8. Error Response
+
+All errors MUST follow:
+
+{
+ "type":"ValidationError",
+ "title":"Validation Error",
+ "status":400,
+ "detail":"Validation failed",
+ "errors":[
+   {
+     "code":"VALIDATION_ERROR",
+     "description":"Field is invalid",
+     "type":"Validation"
+   }
+ ],
+ "requestId":"uuid"
+}
+
+This example is for validation errors, you should change parameters by the error type.
+
+---
+
+# 9. Common Error Codes
+
+VALIDATION_ERROR
+UNAUTHORIZED
+FORBIDDEN
+NOT_FOUND
+CONFLICT
+INTERNAL_ERROR
+
+---
+
+# 10. Authentication
+
+Authorization header:
+
+Bearer {token}
+
+Only the gateway and user-service should handle this section.
+
+---
+
+# 11. Request Id
+
+Every request MUST have:
+
+X-Request-ID
+
+If missing, gateway creates it.
+
+Every service MUST forward it.
+
+---
+
+# 13. Date Format
+
+ISO-8601 UTC
+
+Example:
+
+2026-06-18T12:00:00Z
+
+---
+
+# 14. Enum
+
+Enums MUST be string.
+
+Correct:
+
+{
+ "status":"ACTIVE"
+}
+
+Incorrect:
+
+{
+ "status":1
+}
+
+---
+
+# 15. Health Check
+
+Every service MUST expose:
+
+GET /health
+
+Response:
+
+{
+ "status":"ok",
+ "service":"user-service"
+}
+
+---
+
+# 17. Database Isolation
+
+A service MUST NOT access another service database directly.
+
+Communication:
+
+HTTP / Events only
+
