}Authorizations
An API key issued by a company administrator — an environment prefix (production: sdb_live_) followed by 32 characters. The prefix identifies the environment and MUST NOT be hard-coded or validated by clients; treat the whole key as opaque. Shown exactly once at creation; only a one-way hash is stored.
Scopes (granted per key on the create screen; :write never implies :read):

Headers
Any unique string (at most 200 characters). Retrying with the same key and identical content replays the stored response for 24h instead of executing twice.
Maximum string length:
200Path Parameters
Opaque resource id.
Body
application/json
Example:
"2026-02-11T00:00:00.000Z"
Maximum string length:
500Example:
"J. Instructor"
Example:
"Amended evidence note."
Set or remove the record's not-applicable mark. Global Admin and Full Access only; a caller cannot mark their own record. Setting it on a request awaiting approval resolves the request at once.
Example:
true
Response
