# Create iframe URL

POST https://api.spreadspace.app/api/embed/iframe-urls
Content-Type: application/json

Mints a single-use signed URL that loads the embedded review UI in an iframe, so the token itself never reaches the parent frame. `surface` is `spreading` or `documents`; `handle_lifetime_seconds` defaults to 60 (at most 300); `token_lifetime_seconds` defaults to 3600 (at most 86400). Requires a plan that includes the embedded review UI; other plans get a 403.

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

Reference: https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/api-reference/embed/create-iframe-url

## 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

- `SpreadSpace-Version` (string, optional) — Pin the API version, e.g. `2026-10-07`. Omit to get the latest. See [Versioning](https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/versioning).

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a CreateEmbedIframeUrlRequest.

- `loan_id` (string, required)
- `surface` (enum, required)
  - Allowed values: `spreading`, `documents`
- `scopes` (list of string, optional, nullable)
- `handle_lifetime_seconds` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `token_lifetime_seconds` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `external_user_id` (string, optional, nullable) — Optional opaque, stable end-user identifier, with the same contract as `external_user_id` on `POST /api/embed/sessions`. It is carried onto the session the exchange returns.
- `display_name` (string, optional, nullable) — Reserved, with the same contract as `display_name` on `POST /api/embed/sessions`, including that it requires `external_user_id`. It is carried onto the session the exchange returns.

## Response

### 200

OK

- `signed_url` (string, required)
- `handle_id` (string, required)
- `expires_at` (datetime, required)
- `surface` (enum, required)
  - Allowed values: `spreading`, `documents`
- `loan_id` (string, required)
- `borrower_id` (string, required)
- `scopes` (list of string, required)
- `display_name` (string, optional, nullable) — Echo of the request's `display_name` as stored, with control characters stripped and the value trimmed. Omitted when the request carried no label.

## 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.

### 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

### 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.
