Authorizations

Authorization
string
header
required

An organization API key. Keys carry a role (read_write or read_only) and may be restricted to a namespace prefix such as acme/*, or to one namespace such as acme/prod/tenant_1. A prefix matches on a / boundary: acme/prod/tenant_1* covers acme/prod/tenant_1 and everything under acme/prod/tenant_1/, never acme/prod/tenant_12.

Headers

Idempotency-Key
string

One key per logical request, reused only on its retries. A key belongs to one request: within your organization, the same method, path, query and body. For 24 hours after a successful response, a request with the key and the same body gets that response back verbatim, with Idempotent-Replayed: true, and runs nothing. Only a successful response is kept, so the retry of a request that failed runs again. While the first request runs or its response is kept, the key with a different request is idempotency_key_reused (422). A request sent while one with its key is still running is rate_limited with Retry-After: 1, without running: retry it to get the first one's response. In the rare case the key can't be checked, the request runs as if it had none.

Required string length: 1 - 255

When the PATCH switches an entity judgment to on_change, what it would cost a month from then on, beside the backfill of the documents with no current answer.
