# Save a URL

`POST /v1/bookmarks`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://stashr.me`
- URL: `https://stashr.me/v1/bookmarks`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Fetch a public URL and save its metadata as a web bookmark. Idempotent: a URL already in the library returns the existing bookmark with 200 instead of creating a duplicate; a new save returns 201. Requires the write scope.

## Request body

- object
  - `url` string, uri, required: Public http(s) URL to save

## Response `200`

The URL was already saved; the existing bookmark is returned
