List

GET /organizations/:organization_id/collabs.json

Create

POST /organizations/:organization_id/collabs.json

{
  "collab": {
    "name": "Spring lipsticks",
    "website": "https://example.com/lipstick",
    "currency": "eur",
    "countries": ["FR", "DE"],
    "require_spark_ads": true,
    "requires_product_shipment": false,
    "brief": "<p>Show the lipstick in a get-ready-with-me video...</p>"
  }
}

Creates a draft collab. Requires a write-scoped token and an admin role on the organization.

You can send a collab payload to override the server-created draft defaults. Any omitted fields keep the generated defaults (for example the default name, default countries, default brief template, and the database default currency).

If you omit collab entirely, the server still creates a draft from defaults only.

To pre-fill from a product page, pass a top-level website query param such as ?website=https://.... That prefill flow is primarily intended for the web UI and may replace generated fields such as name, brief, countries, website, and banner_image.

Update

PATCH /organizations/:organization_id/collabs/:id.json

{
  "collab": {
    "name": "Updated name",
    "currency": "eur",
    "countries": ["FR", "DE"],
    "brief": "<p>New brief…</p>"
  }
}

Returns 200 OK with the updated collab. To remove an existing banner, include "purge_banner_image": "1" inside the collab payload.

Delete

DELETE /organizations/:organization_id/collabs/:id.json

Returns 204 No Content only for draft collabs with no submissions. Fails with 403 if the collab is no longer a draft, and 422 if any submissions exist.
