AveeCare

Create a message

post/v1/messages

Creates a message and returns it. Send an Idempotency-Key header to make the request safe to retry. With a caregiver's or patient's key, a saved record that key cannot read back is answered with only object and id. Requires a key with write scope.

Authorization

Authorization: Bearer ak_...requiredscope: read + write

An AveeCare API key created in Settings → API Keys. This endpoint changes data, so the key needs read + write scope. About authentication
