# Replace the export map

PUT https://api.spreadspace.app/api/chart-of-accounts/export-map
Content-Type: application/json

Replaces one export system's whole account map and makes that system the workspace's active one. `system` is a lowercase name of at most 32 characters, such as `ledger_one`; `entries` names each account once, at most 1,000 in all, and an account left out leaves the map. Answers the map as saved, and 409 when another save of it is under way. Every mapping read then answers `stale: true` until that mapping has been prepared again with the new codes, and `extraction.mapped` announces each one. Requires a plan that includes spreads; other plans get a 403.

Requires the `chart_of_accounts:write` scope. Rate limit: 200 requests per minute per key (the `api` lane).

Reference: https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/api-reference/chart-of-accounts/put-export-map

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer token. Use `ss_live_…` for live data or `ss_test_…` for the sandbox (test mode). See [Authentication](https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/authentication).

## Request

### Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` (string, optional) — Idempotency token. Retries that reuse the key within 24h replay the original response. Up to 255 characters; a UUID is typical. See [Idempotency](https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/idempotency).
- `SpreadSpace-Version` (string, optional) — Pin the API version, e.g. `2026-07-19`. Omit to get the latest. See [Versioning](https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/versioning).

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a SaveChartOfAccountsExportMapRequest.

- `system` (string, required) — The export system's name: a lowercase letter followed by up to 31 lowercase letters, digits, underscores or hyphens, such as `ledger_one`.
- `entries` (list of ChartOfAccountsExportMapEntryDto, required) — The map's entries, at most 1,000, each naming an account the map names once. An account left out leaves the system's map.

## Response

### 200

OK

- `entries` (list of ChartOfAccountsExportMapEntryDto, required) — One entry per mapped account, in order of account id. Empty until an export map is saved.
- `system` (string, optional, nullable) — The export system the map belongs to, the workspace's active one. Null until an export map is saved.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Bad request: validation failed, the cursor is malformed, or the API version is unknown.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized: the bearer token or API key is missing or invalid.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 402 Payment Required Error

Payment required: the standard error envelope with `type` `subscription_required` when the workspace has no active or trialing subscription, or `billing_required` where a plan entitlement applies.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 403 Forbidden Error

Forbidden: authentication succeeded but the caller is not permitted to perform this action, for example an API key missing the required scope, an embed session reaching a loan it was not minted for, or a feature outside the workspace's plan.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 404 Not Found Error

Not found: the resource does not exist or is not visible to the calling tenant.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 409 Conflict Error

Conflict: a version mismatch, where `details.current_version` carries the version the resource is actually at so the client can reload and re-apply, or an idempotency key reused with a different request body.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

Too many requests: the rate limit was hit, or an idempotency-key replay is still in progress.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 500 Internal Server Error

Internal server error: an unexpected failure. Quote the `request_id` in support tickets. A mutation sent with an `Idempotency-Key` replays this fault under that key rather than re-running; confirm the resource state before resending with a new key.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

## Types

### ChartOfAccountsExportMapEntryDto

One chart account's code and name in an export system.

- `account_id` (string, required) — The chart account's id: `pl`, `bs` or `cf` followed by dotted lowercase segments, such as `pl.opex.rent`, or, for an account the workspace added, `t:` followed by up to 48 lowercase letters, digits and hyphens. The `tree` of a statement mapping lists the accounts in force with their ids.
- `external_code` (string, required) — The account's code in the export system: 1 to 64 letters, digits, dots, underscores, colons or hyphens.
- `external_label` (string, optional, nullable) — The account's name in the export system, 200 characters or fewer. Null when it has none.

### ApiErrorBody

Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

- `type` (string, required) — Stable error type identifier. Pattern-match on this value, not the human-readable message.
- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable error message. Subject to wording changes; do not parse.
- `request_id` (string, optional, nullable) — Per-request correlation ID (matches `X-Request-ID` response header). Quote in support tickets.
- `details` (map from string to string, optional, nullable) — Structured detail. Some error types populate documented keys in every environment: a version conflict (409) carries `current_version`, the version the resource is actually at, so the client can reload and re-apply. Free-form diagnostic detail beyond those keys appears in development environments only. An `insufficient_credits` 402 carries `balance_usd`, `reserved_usd`, `in_flight_docs`, `incoming_docs` and `per_doc_reservation_usd` as decimal strings.
