Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

API key issued per entity via Settings > Developers > API Keys. Each key carries scopes (e.g. orders:read, products:write). Bearer token format: Authorization: Bearer ark_live_ent_Test keys use ark_test_ent_. Both are issued per entity via Settings > Developers > API Keys.

Headers

Idempotency-Key

string

Client-generated unique key for idempotent POST/PATCH/DELETE operations. Alias for the Idempotency parameter. Max 255 chars. On retry with the same key, the original response is returned without re-executing the operation. Keys expire after 24 hours.

Maximum string length: 255

Response

Updated tax code

A tax classification code for products (e.g. AvaTax P0000000 generic tangible, ND040000 non-taxable digital, etc.). When AvaTax is the active jurisdiction provider, avatax_tax_code mirrors the canonical AvaTax tax code so jurisdiction sourcing flows through. Soft-delete refuses with HTTP 409 if any product still references the code (FK guard against orphaned product tax classification). Scope: tax_codes:read / tax_codes:write / tax_codes:delete.
