# Resolve a risk flag

`POST /v1/risk_flags/{id}/resolve`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.affiliaterail.com`
- URL: `https://api.affiliaterail.com/v1/risk_flags/{id}/resolve`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Closes the flag as `resolved` (acted on) or `dismissed` (false alarm). The note is required: it is the audit trail for why a fraud signal was waved through or acted on, and the change lands in the audit log naming your API key.

**Scope:** `write`

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Request body

- RiskFlagResolve
  - `status` 'resolved' | 'dismissed': `dismissed` closes it as a false alarm
