# The reader's own quote, prices and all, as a My Project file

`POST /quote-import`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.craftquantities.com/v1`
- URL: `https://api.craftquantities.com/v1/quote-import`
- Auth: none declared

The prices are the reader's own figures from the quote they supply, never the site's. Nothing is stored.

## Query parameters

- `detail` 'full' | 'summary': full (the default): the whole answer. summary: the result lines, the citation line and the page only — fewer tokens to read.
- `format` 'json' | 'md'

## Request body

- object
  - `quote` string, required
  - `supplier` string
  - `currency` string
  - `market` 'US' | 'CA' | 'UK' | 'AU' | 'INTL': Optional. A market whose own opening choice some inputs take (a UK reader's code, an IEC motor), and whose currency symbol prints the caller's own money figures.
  - `name` string

## Response `200`

The quote as read, its arithmetic, and the file.
