# Create a raw Transaction

`POST /v3/transactions/raw`

Creates a Transaction from a raw document. The request body should contain the raw document content (e.g. X12, XML, CSV). Routing metadata is provided via request headers rather than in the body.

> 🚧 Try It! playground limitation

> The in-page **Try It!** playground on this reference can only exercise `application/json` request bodies. If you are testing or experimenting with `application/xml`, `text/xml`, `text/csv`, `application/pdf`, `image/jpeg`, or `text/plain` payloads, use cURL or an HTTP client such as Postman for your ad-hoc requests. Your production integration is unaffected — this applies only to the in-browser Try It! tool. The endpoint itself accepts every supported content type from any HTTP client.
