Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

A unique key (a UUID is fine) that makes a POST safe to retry for 24 hours. A retry with the same key, path and body gets the first answer again with Idempotent-Replayed: true and creates nothing; a retry while the first is still running gets 409 conflict with Retry-After: 1. The same key with another request gets 422 idempotency_key_mismatch. Only a 2xx answer is kept, so after an error the retry runs again. An answer over 64 KiB, or one that holds a new token's value, is not kept: its retry gets 409 conflict with the Location of what the first request made.
