Use `error.code`, `error.issues`, and `requestId` for JSON errors. [Error and recovery guide](/guides/errors-and-retries/).

## cURL

Set the connection variables from the [quickstart](/guides/quickstart/). Set each path variable to an authorized identifier or an allowed parameter value from the table above.

Save your authorized JSON input as `request.json`. Use the request schema and examples above; replace synthetic data before use.

Set `IDEMPOTENCY_KEY` to a unique key for this intent. Preserve it and the exact request for retries.

```bash
curl --fail-with-body --request POST \
  "$RIPSCLOUD_BASE_URL/api/v1/workspaces/$WORKSPACE_ID/credit-notes" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $RIPSCLOUD_TOKEN" \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-binary @request.json
```
