quotes.extend_validity

Exposed on: REST API · Shop MCP server · Claude connector · Dash (in-app copilot) · Zapier. Part of the Quotes domain.

Operating contract

Sets valid_until, the date the quoted price stops being honoured. The customer portal refuses to approve a quote past it, so this is what unblocks a send that quotes.send_status reported as lapsed.

A DATE, NOT A TIMESTAMP, and it is read in the SHOP's timezone — 'valid until the 12th' means the whole of the 12th where the shop is. Send YYYY-MM-DD.

It must be in the future. Extending is what this is for; shortening a live quote to today is not, and is refused, because a price a customer is looking at should not vanish under them.

Extending does NOT re-price anything. The lines and totals are exactly what they were; only the deadline moves.

Who may call it

Permission
quotes.accessThe caller must hold Quotes at the ACT level. A read-only dashboard grant on the same section is refused.
Plan
Every planNo plan gate. Available on every Service VIN plan.
Retries
naturalNaturally idempotent — running it twice leaves the same world as running it once. A retrying integration needs no key.
Rate class
writeCounted against the write budget, which is tighter than a read.

Input

FieldTypeDescription

Examples

Built from this capability's own schema — required fields and the ones carrying a default, and nothing invented. Paste one and it validates.

curl
export SERVICEVIN_API_KEY=svk_live_…

curl -X POST https://www.servicevin.com/api/v1/quotes/extend_validity \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SERVICEVIN_API_KEY" \

Refusals

The four gates run in this order on every surface, and the order is not arbitrary — see Authentication.

StatusCodeWhen
404not_foundThe id is unknown, or the feature is not enabled for this account. Deliberately the same answer for both.
403forbiddenThis login does not hold quotes.access.
403insufficient_scopeThe credential is read-only and this capability writes.
422validation_errorAn argument was wrong. The message names the field.
429rate_limitedToo many write calls. Back off and retry.
500internal_errorSomething failed on our side. Nothing was changed.
