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

Example:"9f1c2f4e-3a5b-4f6d-8e7a-0b1c2d3e4f5a"

If-Matchstring

Optimistic locking: the ETag you read from the resource (or *). If the resource changed since, the write is rejected with 412 precondition_failed before doing anything; read it again and retry. Without the header the write always proceeds.

Example:"\"3sT3d9pBvZq4h2N0w8x1YkLmQ7c\""

Body

application/json

Body schema: TaskCreateBody

typestringRequired

Task type: its identifier (system types: default, delivery, return, temporaryStock; custom types: their id, see /api/v1/task-types) or its name, matched ignoring case and accents. A name that matches several custom types is rejected with 400 listing their identifiers. The task takes the color of the type. Required.

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.
412	`precondition_failed`	The `If-Match` entity tag does not match the current representation. Read the resource again and retry.
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
