Create inventory source
Create an inventory source and optionally register an agent for it.
Authorizations
API key or access token
Body
Display name for the inventory source
1 - 255"Retail Network Agent"
Unique identifier for this source within the storefront. Defaults to a slugified version of the name if not provided.
1 - 255"retail-network-agent"
Only external AGENT inventory sources can be created through this endpoint. MANAGED_SALES_AGENT and MODULAR_SOURCE rows are created by their dedicated provisioning flows; LINKED_STOREFRONT sources are never created or persisted — storefront interchange is resolved at runtime from the ambient wholesale pool. Storefront-level ADAPTER dispatch is configured on the storefront, not as an inventory source.
AGENT Agent type — required when executionType is "AGENT"
SALES, SIGNAL, CREATIVE, OUTCOME Agent endpoint URL — required when executionType is "AGENT"
2048Agent protocol — required when executionType is "AGENT"
MCP, A2A Auth method for the agent — required when executionType is "AGENT"
API_KEY, NO_AUTH, JWT, OAUTH, BASIC_AUTH Optional for most schemes. NO_AUTH sources need no credentials at all, and OAUTH sources are authorized through their own flow — neither carries an auth payload. BASIC_AUTH and API_KEY sources may include credentials here, or be created without them and start PENDING, with the secret collected later through the secure credential form rather than at create time (for BASIC_AUTH use { type: "basic", username, password }). JWT is the exception: its secret must be supplied here at create time, because the secure credential form cannot collect JWT yet.

OAuth audience / resource indicator for OAUTH agents (the protected-resource URI the agent gateway validates, e.g. "https://platform.example.com"). When set, the OAuth flow requests a token whose aud claim targets this resource (sent as both Auth0 audience and RFC 8707 resource). Leave unset to auto-discover it from the agent's RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata.

Inventory source response
Globally unique surrogate id (BIGINT serialized as string). Use this when acting on rows the caller does not own (e.g. a seller approving an inbound link).
Storefront-scoped identifier — unique within the row owner's storefront. Use this for actions on the caller's own rows; use id for cross-customer actions.

Embedded-sales-agent state when executionType is MANAGED_SALES_AGENT. Null/absent for external AGENT-type sources. The current REST surface (/api/v2/storefront/esa/...) remains the way to mutate this state today; subsequent PRs will move those actions under /api/v2/storefront/inventory-sources/:sourceId/....
Always null. Storefront interchange runs through the ambient wholesale pool: a curator discovers any LISTED storefront’s wholesale inventory automatically, with no per-counterparty link to establish. Retained for response-shape stability.
How the underlying agent reports delivery (WEBHOOK, BUCKET, POLLING). Mirrors the AdCP-spec values used when registering the agent. Projected from the joined adcp_agent row; null for non-AGENT sources.
WEBHOOK, BUCKET, POLLING Polling cadence (DAILY, MONTHLY) — only meaningful when reportingType is POLLING. Projected from the joined adcp_agent row; null for non-AGENT sources or non-polling reporting.
DAILY, MONTHLY True when this source is routed through an official Scope3-hosted adapter (storefront routing_mode is ADAPTER and the source_id matches the configured adapter). When true, the UI labels this as an official adapter rather than a generic external sales agent.
