Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.

Headers

​
Accept-Language
string
default:en

Preferred language(s) for translatable content using BCP 47 language tags. Supports quality values (q-factors) for priority ordering. The API negotiates the best available language based on this header, the team's configured language, and available translations. If omitted, the team's default language is used.

Example:

"da-DK, da;q=0.9, en;q=0.8"

​
Request-ID
string

Any value passed in this request will be returned in the same header. This can be used to correlate requests between client and server.

Required string length: 1 - 128
​
Idempotency-Key
string

Optional idempotency key for safely retrying requests. If the same key is reused with the same request payload within 30 minutes, the API will return the exact same response (status code, headers, and body) as the original request without re-executing it. Reuse of the same key with a different payload may return 409 Conflict.
