Update the PDF template defaults

Set the company default template and brand and the per-type defaults.

Omitted fields are kept, null clears a value and type_defaults, when sent, replaces the whole list. - type_defaults admits transport-document with complete and an active A4 template of kind transport-document. - Send the current expected_version in the body or the strong ETag of the defaults in If-Match. - Company administrators only, with pdf_templates:write; supports Idempotency-Key.

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer <token>

Your API key as a bearer token: fact_live_… in production, fact_test_… in sandbox. See the authentication guide.

In: header

Path Parameters

company*string

Public identifier (UUID v7) of the company. Get it from GET /v1/me (data.scope[].id).

Formatuuid

Headers

If-Match?string

Alternative precondition from GET of this exact URI. Strong comparison (RFC 9110); independently validated alongside expected_version: mismatched tag 412, stale version 409, neither 428. POST actions require expected_version in the body.

Idempotency-Key?string

Client-generated opaque key (up to 255 characters; UUID v7 recommended) that makes retries safe: the first response is cached and replayed for repeats without re-executing the mutation. Reusing a key with a different body returns 422 idempotency_key_reused; the values of secret fields (password, secret…) count as part of the body, so retrying with a corrected secret under the same key is a different request, never the replay of the earlier answer. See the Idempotency guide.

Length1 <= length <= 255

Factuarea-Version?string

Pin the API version (YYYY-MM-DD, Stripe-style date versioning) for this request; omit to use the key's pinned version, or the latest if none. Unsupported version → 400 unsupported_api_version; malformed → 400 parameter_invalid_format. The effective version is echoed in the Factuarea-Version response header. See the Versioning guide.

Formatdate

Request Body

application/json

Internal reversible write: idempotency follows the current policy; a supplied key is replayed before CAS. Unknown fields are rejected. Until the company is prepared for revisioned templates (tenant initialization pending or revisioned rendering off) every library write returns 422 pdf_presentation_not_ready before any precondition or effect; reads stay available and no Retry-After applies.
