Generated from the schema

entityType is not there: changing it is not supported. A parentCollectionId that does not exist or belongs to another account, that is the collection itself or one of its subcollections, or that groups a different type of resource responds 400 validation_error with errors[0].path on that field; the system collections cannot be modified (409 conflict). In both cases nothing is written. Returns the confirmation, not the record, because this resource does not publish a read.

Authorizations

Bearer API key with the scope below. collections:write

Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

Unique identifier of the request, chosen by the client (a UUID works). Between 1 and 255 characters: an empty header is rejected with 400 validation_error, because the client would believe itself protected. Repeating the same key with the SAME body within 24 h returns the stored response without executing again, with the Idempotent-Replay: true header. With a DIFFERENT body it returns 422. It is the safe way to retry after a network timeout.

Limits: min length 1, max length 255

Errors

Status	Codes	Meaning
400	`validation_error`	Malformed query or body. `errors[]` lists every offending field with its stable code.
404	`not_found`	It does not exist or is outside the scope of the API key.
409	`conflict`	The current state of the resource prevents the operation, a request with that Idempotency-Key is already in progress, or another conditional write (`If-Match`) held the resource for more than five seconds. `errors[0].code` says which: `in_progress` and `lock_timeout` are solved by retrying; `invalid_state` is not, because the state of the resource forbids the operation.
422	`idempotency_key_reused`	The same key was used before with a different body. Change the key.

401, 403, 429, 500 can be returned by any operation. Errors
