Idempotency-Key
string
>= 1 characters <= 255 characters

Optional retry key (1-255 printable ASCII characters), bound to your token or session and its current scopes. A retry with the same key and request within 24 hours replays the original response with Idempotency-Replayed: true; a different request under the same key returns 422 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED, a retry while the first request still runs returns 409 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_IN_PROGRESS with Retry-After, and a completed request whose response was not stored returns 409 IDEMPOTENCY_RESPONSE_WITHHELD.
