Requires permission:

Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

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

Path Parameters

​
uuid
string<uuid>
required

Body

application/json
​
syncId
string

An identifier to use when syncing data with other systems. Read more

Example:

"sync123"

​
quantity
number
Example:

150

​
unit
string

The unit code (e.g. kg, lbs, etc.). All unit codes can be found in the List Units endpoint.

Example:

"kg"

​
order
number
Example:

1

​
material
object
​
block
object
​
lifecycleStage
object
​
materialGroup
string[]

How this input is categorized within its life-cycle stage. Common values are product, packaging, and ancillary; custom values (e.g. from a PCR document) are allowed. isPackaging is kept consistent automatically.

Example:
["packaging"]
​
transport
object | null

Freight transport attached to this input as a single transport leg. Set to attach or update the binding; send null on PATCH to detach (omitting transport leaves an existing binding untouched). An input cannot be both a material line and a transport leg — sending material and transport together returns 400.

Response

An input

​
uuid
string<uuid>
​
syncId

An input cannot be both a material line and a transport leg — sending material and transport together returns 400.

​
created
string

ISO 8601 date

Example:

"2021-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"

​
updated
string

ISO 8601 date

Example:

"2021-01-31T23:59:59.000Z"

​
CO2e
string
Example:

"1234.5678"

​
declaredAmount
object

Read-only canonical amount in the source product's declared unit, used by impact calculation. Present only when quantity + unit you sent are in a different dimension than the source product's declared unit (e.g. you sent kg for an m3-declared source product that has a weight conversion factor). Ignored on POST/PATCH.

​
recycledPercent
number
read-only

Read-only. Recycled content of this input as a percentage (0–100), inherited from its source product — the source's modeled recycled content when available, otherwise its declared value. 0 when the input has no source product or the source has neither. Ignored on POST/PATCH.

Example:

30
