# Create a service record

`POST /api/v1/vehicles/{id}/service-records`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://fleetkeep.co.uk`
- URL: `https://fleetkeep.co.uk/api/v1/vehicles/{id}/service-records`
- Auth: OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://fleetkeep.co.uk/auth/oauth2/authorize`, token URL `https://fleetkeep.co.uk/auth/oauth2/token`, scopes: `maintenance:write`)

Two-step operator-confirmed write for non-mobile clients. First send the proposed record with an 8-128 character Idempotency-Key; Fleetkeep returns confirmation_required. Retry the identical body and key with X-Fleetkeep-Confirmation. Safe retries return the original record with replay true. The signed Fleetkeep mobile client uses its native review flow. updateServiceReminder defaults to true.
