Headers

X-Idempotency-Keystring required

Unique caller-generated key for one create request. Once an authenticated, schema-valid request reaches the operation, the key is permanently consumed for that operation and legal entity whether the operation succeeds or fails. Reusing it in that scope returns 409 and never replays a response, unlike API v1, which replays the original response for a matching key.
