Conceptual API documentation

Example resource and endpoint patterns.

These endpoints illustrate how a future serialization API could be structured. They are documentation concepts, not a live production API.

Core endpoints

POST /v1/identifiers

Create or register a serialized identity.

GET /v1/identifiers/{id}

Resolve identity and current state.

POST /v1/events

Append a traceability or lifecycle event.

GET /v1/identifiers/{id}/events

Retrieve historical events.

POST /v1/identifiers
{
  "namespace": "example:item",
  "externalId": "ABC-00018422",
  "type": "serialized_product",
  "attributes": {
    "sku": "P-1004",
    "batch": "LOT-26-0830"
  }
}

Idempotency

Creation and event ingestion should support idempotency keys to prevent duplicate records.

Versioning

Stable versioned endpoints and explicit schema evolution reduce integration risk.

Security

OAuth 2.0/OIDC, scoped access, tenant isolation and audit trails are natural baseline patterns.
