# Bulk-approve exact books matches on bank feed lines

> <Note>Required API key scope: `accounting:write`</Note>

Matches up to 500 unreconciled bank feed lines to the books records they
exactly match, in ONE transaction. The sibling of `bulk-exclude` on the
same review-inbox selection bar.

**The server decides what is eligible, and the caller cannot steer it.**
The request carries ids ONLY: no match kind and no counterparty id are
accepted. For each id the server locks the row, rebuilds its decision
verdict with the canonical candidate scorers, and requires
`books_match.exact` -- which means all five of: score at or above 0.95,
exactly one candidate in the window, the bank amount and the record
amount equal to the cent, no historical-import twin, and the line not
pending at the bank.

**All-or-nothing.** Any ineligible id fails the WHOLE batch with 422 and
per-id `offenders[]` reasons; nothing is matched. Two selected lines that
resolve to the SAME books record are also refused
(`duplicate_target_with_<id>`), a hazard that cannot arise one line at a
time.

**Cap:** 500 unique ids per call (413 above); rebuilding a verdict runs
the candidate scorers, so this endpoint is a batch, not a firehose.

One aggregate audit row plus the per-line match audit rows, all inside
the same transaction, and ONE `bank_transaction.bulk_matched` event.

**No GL postings occur** (matching links an existing bank line to an
existing books record; it moves no money).




## OpenAPI

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Arcus ERP Public API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Arcus ERP public REST API. Designed for external integrations and data
    migration.


    **Authentication.** Bearer token (API key) via the `Authorization` header.

    Format: `Authorization: Bearer ark_live_ent_<code>_<random>` (or
    `ark_test_*` for sandbox).

    API keys are issued per-entity in **Settings > Developers > API Keys**.


    **Entity scoping.** The entity is encoded in the API key prefix; routes are
    flat

    (e.g. `/v1/accounts`, `/v1/orders`, `/v1/products`). A small set of platform
    endpoints

    (migration, reconciliation, events, webhook endpoints, API keys) use the

    `/v1/entities/{entity_id}/...` form -- those are noted in their tags.


    **Key capabilities.**
      - Related-resource hydration via `?expand[]=` (see `x-arcus-expand` on each resource).
      - Cursor-based pagination (`starting_after` / `ending_before` / `limit`).
      - Idempotency via the `Idempotency-Key` header.
      - Webhook events for asynchronous notification.
      - Conditional requests / ETag for cache validation.
