# Skjalatilkynning API API that document providers use to register and maintain document references, along with sending notifications. Document Providers authenticate themselves with OAuth 2.0 Authentication using Client Credentials Grant () All operations that modify document references can take an array of 1-200 changes at time. They return an array result for each change in the same order as they were entered. ## Categories Returns possible categories of documents in Icelandic. Example of categories: Líf og Heilsa (e. Life and Health), Atvinna (e. Employment), Fjármál (e. Finances) > GET /api/v1/documentindexes/categories #### Response ```json ["string"] ``` | Variable | Type | Description | | -------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | \[] | String | Document categories that can be used when document reference is registered. | ## Types Returns possible types of documents in Icelandic. Example types: Launaseðill (e. Paycheck), Greiðsluseðill (e. Invoice), Yfirlit (e. Overview/Summary) > GET /api/v1/documentindexes/types #### Response ```json ["string"] ``` | Variable | Type | Description | | -------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | | \[] | String | Document type that can be used when registering document reference. | ## DocumentIndex A document provider registers references to documents. Each document is uniquely identified by a combination of `documentID` and `owner_kennitala`, which together form a unique key pair that can only be registered once. However, a document can be registered multiple times for different `owner_kennitala`, for example, when a couple needs access to the same document. Once the `publication_date` has passed, the recipient is notified and the document becomes visible. A published document **can not be removed** or have its contents modified, except if it was registered to an incorrect recipient. > POST /api/v1/documentindexes #### Request Body ```json [ { "kennitala": "string", "documentId": "string", "senderKennitala": "string", "senderName": "string", "authorKennitala": "string", "caseId": "string", "category": "string", "type": "string", "subType": "string", "subject": "string", "documentDate": "datetime", "publicationDate": "datetime", "minimumAuthenticationType": "string", "fileType": "string", "urgentUntil": "datetime" } ] ``` Array of document references.
