Beyond standard HTTP headers, Scoutline requires specific headers to process legal workflows and maintain audit trails.

​
Required Headers

HeaderDescription
AuthorizationBearer token from AWS Cognito.
X-Scoutline-Firm-IDYour unique legal firm identifier (provided in the dashboard).
Content-TypeMust be application/json for all POST/PUT requests.

​
Optional Audit Headers

To enrich your firm’s audit trail, you can include custom tracing metadata:
  • X-Scoutline-Matter-ID: Link the API call to a specific internal case or matter number.
  • X-Idempotency-Key: A unique string to prevent duplicate processing of draft generation or vault deletions.

​
Request Tracing

If you need support for a specific failed request, always provide the X-Scoutline-Request-ID returned in the response headers. This allows our team to quickly resolve issues within the Error-Proof Guarantee framework.
