Idempotency-Key header required (idempotency_key_missing)

• HTTP status: 400
• Problem type URI: https://nowgetitdone.com/docs/api/problems/idempotency-key-missing

What it means

An Idempotency-Key was required for this call but none was supplied or it was malformed.

Likely causes

• The header was omitted where the client library expected one.
• The header value was empty or longer than 255 characters.

How to fix

• Send an Idempotency-Key header (1–255 visible ASCII characters; a UUID works well).
• Reuse the SAME key when retrying the SAME request to replay the first result.
