}Authorizations
OAuth2 client_credentials grant for server-to-server access. Onboard via your Nova admin to receive a client_id and client_secret, then POST /oauth/token to exchange them for a short-lived access token. Send the token as Authorization: Bearer <access_token> on every authenticated request. Tokens expire after 3600 seconds — refresh by re-exchanging credentials.
Headers
ID of the organization the request acts on. Optional when the access token is bound to a specific organization, or when the integration has access to exactly one organization.
Required string length:
32Pattern:
^org_[A-Za-z0-9]+$Example:
"org_EkzhrUc3U6C0UbxNBlK7WLz51ofT"
Only applies to POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE; ignored on reads.
Type: IdempotencyKey A unique key that makes a mutating request safely retryable, kept for 24 hours
Body
application/json
Minimum array length:
1Legal name of the entity
Required string length:
1 - 255Example:
"Jane Doe, LLC"
Available options:
individual, individual_retirement_plan, corporation, llc, partnership, trust, joint_tenants_ros, tenants_in_common, community_property, registered_investment_company, foundation, charitable_remainder_trust, endowment, employee_benefit_plan, keogh_plan, other_entity Example:
"individual"
Your own type for this entity
Your identifier for this entity
Example:
"entity-123"
Response
Entities created
Type: List A page of results
Object type identifier.
Available options:
list Example:
"list"
The page of items.
Show child attributes
Show child attributes
URL for the next page of the list, or null when there are no more pages.
Example:
"/v1/entities?page=page_5dr8SFDbv7rZ2aj4&limit=10"
URL for the previous page of the list, or null when there are none.
Example:
"/v1/entities?page_before=page_8VtqLBv3xJpY7mk2&limit=10"
Whether there are more items available after this page. Deprecated: next_page_url is non-null exactly when more pages exist.
Path identifying this list. Deprecated: on lists embedded in another object, or returned by a create, it may not be a GET endpoint you can call. Follow next_page_url / previous_page_url to paginate.
Example:
"/v1/entities"
