Answer a question

POST /api/v1/questions/{id}/answer

Key scope: listings · changes data, the Idempotency-Key header is required

The answer is published in the listing at once — that is the whole point: dozens of people ask the same question, and an answer visible to everyone saves both sides’ time.

Request fields

Field	Type	What it is
`answer` required	`string`	The answer text.

Response fields

Field	Type	What it is
`service`	`string`	The position whose page was refreshed.

Refusal reasons

A rule refusal arrives as {"error":"rejected","refusal":{"kind":"…"}} with status 409. Refusals common to all endpoints are in the rules section.

Code	What happened and what to do
`not_found`	The record does not exist or is not yours. The ownership condition is in the database query itself, so someone else’s record looks like a missing one.
`too_short`	The text is too short. A one-word answer helps neither the buyer nor the review.
`contacts`	Contact details were found in the text — an email, a phone number, a messenger link. Taking the deal off the marketplace strips the buyer of protection and the seller of the guarantee. Remove them and send again.
