# Create a certificate on any company (admin)

`POST /api/admin/claims/`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.retraced.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.retraced.com/api/admin/claims/`
- Auth: none declared

Files a certificate on the company in the body, already APPROVED. A document number already held by a not-expired, non-archived claim of the same company and standard answers 409 `already_draft_or_active_certificate_document_number`; a null or unknown `fileId` answers 404 `invalid_file_id`. `data` is the created certificate, as `GET /api/admin/claims/:id` answers it.
