Its x-reflections-availability field and each operation's availability notice identify supported test and live forms. Do not infer implementation from a schema or code sample. Live keys support account details, reads of the licenses the calling account holds as licensee or issued as talent (GET /v1/licenses?role=issuer), and GET /v1/generations?license=… for the state of outputs under such a license (summaries only: no prompt, reference, bytes or metadata). Live image checks, submissions and receipts are built but not activated: until activation, a live POST /v1/checks or /v1/generations returns 403 live_not_activated, which must not be retried. Discovery and JWKS are at the origin root (https://app.reflections.ai/.well-known/...), not under /v1. > Three rules hold everywhere: a decision is never an error (deny and escalate are 200 responses, and a live check still evaluating is a 202 with status checking); generate nothing for a named talent without an allow; deliver nothing until the generation is allow. > The sandbox accepts personal rk_test_ keys. Persist a separate Idempotency-Key and body for each logical /v1 POST; retry an unknown outcome with the same key and body. OAuth and Talent API MCP remain planned. # Report usage > **Planned contract — unavailable in test and live modes.** This operation is a protocol reference, not a callable endpoint. Start with the [working sandbox quickstart](/quickstart). Reports usage for up to 1,000 generations or sessions in one call. Each record names what it settles. Records are reconciled against Reflections' own record of checks and generations; a record that names an unknown subject or exceeds what was observed is rejected with a reason. Send corrections as new records with `correction_of`. Restricted keys need `usage:write`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.yaml post /usage_records openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Reflections Talent API version: '2026-10-15' summary: The license server for a person's name, likeness and voice in generative AI. description: > This document defines the target Talent API contract. Each operation declares its current test and live availability. Test mode serves a limited fictional sandbox. Live keys support account details and reading the caller's own licenses. The initial live image check, submission and receipt implementation is deployed, but requires separate live signing activation and production acceptance. Start at https://docs.reflections.ai/quickstart for test mode. The target API lets any product that can generate a real person check whether a use is licensed, verify the output it made, prove that verification to anyone downstream, report usage, and honor revocations. Protected requests use a secret key in the `Authorization` header. The target contract defines test keys (`rk_test_…`) and live keys (`rk_live_…`) use the same base URL; the key decides the mode. A decision is never an error. `deny` and `escalate` are `200` responses that carry a decision. Errors use RFC 9457 problem details. contact: name: Reflections developer support url: https://docs.reflections.ai/production/support email: developers@reflections.ai servers: - url: https://app.reflections.ai/v1 description: >- Fictional test sandbox and conditional live support; availability and activation are separate security: - SecretKey: [] tags: - name: Account description: The account that owns the calling key. - name: Talent description: >- People whose name, likeness and voice are protected and licensed through Reflections. - name: Facets description: >- The parts of a talent's identity a license can cover, such as a voice or a likeness. - name: Resolutions description: Find which talent a prompt, image or voice sample invokes. - name: Licenses description: Signed licenses and their revisions. - name: License requests description: Ask a talent for a new license or a wider one. - name: Connections description: A licensee's permission for a platform to use its licenses. - name: Files description: References and outputs uploaded for checks and generations. - name: Checks description: Decide whether a use may proceed, before anything is generated. - name: Generations description: Check an output against the license its check relied on. - name: Sessions description: Authorize live voice and video with short-lived tokens and sampled checks. - name: Receipts description: Signed, portable proof of a decision. - name: Verifications description: Verify a file, manifest or receipt. - name: Revocations description: Every narrowing of consent, and the platform's acknowledgement of it. - name: Usage records description: Report usage for settlement and audit. - name: Statements description: Monthly amounts owed under a license, reconciled against observed usage. - name: Mandates description: A representative's authority to act for a talent, and its powers. - name: Escalations description: >- The review queue.

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. schema: type: string maxLength: 255 schemas: UsageRecordBatchCreate: type: object required: - records properties: records: type: array minItems: 1 maxItems: 1000 items: $ref: '#/components/schemas/UsageRecordCreate' description: 1 to 1,000 records.
