}Submit a sample
Planned contract — unavailable in test and live modes. This operation is a protocol reference, not a callable endpoint. Start with the working sandbox quickstart.
Submits a sample of what the session produced: an audio window, a transcript turn or a video
frame. Submit at least as often as sampling requires. A deny means stop output within
one second and end the session; Reflections also terminates it.
Restricted keys need sessions:write.

}Authorizations
Your secret key, rk_test_… or rk_live_…, sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>. Keep it
on your server. Restricted keys carry only the scopes you give them.
Headers
The dated API version. Defaults to the version your account is pinned to.
"2026-10-15"
Act for a connected licensee. The value is the licensee's account ID. Requires an active connection between that account and yours.
^acct_[0-9a-hjkmnp-tv-z]{26}$A unique key for this operation, up to 255 characters. In test mode, POST keys are scoped to your account and mode and bind the endpoint and body for 24 hours. A different endpoint or body with the same key is refused.
Initial live check and generation creation require a nonempty key. Each operation has a
separate account-scoped namespace; retain the same API key, body and idempotency key for
retries within 24 hours of creation. A pending check returns 202 with status: "checking".
Completed checks replay their sealed response; successful generation POSTs replay the
original accepted 202, so use GET for current state. Live verification is a read-only
query that returns a fresh verification ID on each call, without exact response caching.
The broader delegated-account contract also scopes keys to Reflections-Account;
delegated requests and the other planned live POST operations remain unsupported.
255Path Parameters
The session's ID.
^ses_[0-9a-hjkmnp-tv-z]{26}$Body
audio: a window of generated speech. transcript: the words of one turn. frame: one
video frame.
audio, transcript, frame Where the sample falls in the session, in milliseconds from its start.
Show child attributes
Show child attributes
Audio (audio/wav, audio/ogg) or a frame (image/jpeg), up to 2 MB.
audio/wav or audio/ogg for audio, image/jpeg for frame.
For transcript: the words of one turn.
8000Response
The sample, with its decision.
The sample's ID, smp_ followed by 26 characters.
^smp_[0-9a-hjkmnp-tv-z]{26}$Always session_sample.
"session_sample"The session the sample belongs to.
^ses_[0-9a-hjkmnp-tv-z]{26}$audio, transcript or frame, as submitted.
audio, transcript, frame deny means stop output within one second and end the session; Reflections also
terminates it.
allow, deny When Reflections received the sample.
Why the sample was denied. Empty on allow.
