Request rules

Follow these rules on POST /children, POST /leaders, and POST /registrations. Read endpoints take no body.

General

Send Content-Type: application/json and a JSON object.
Authenticate with Authorization: Bearer sc_tok_….
Dates of birth are YYYY-MM-DD.
Consents that are YES/NO accept YES, NO, true, false, 1, or 0.
Boolean flags (asthma, swimming, shooting) accept 1, 0, true, false, yes, or no.
Send emergency_email for young people. After submit, that primary contact is emailed the permission slip, then a separate signature request. Do not send camp_consent.
Submitted medical, dietary, allergy, disability, address, email, and phone values are stored. They are never returned on later GETs.

Comma-separated tags

Dietary needs, allergies, and disabilities are tag lists. Pass either a single comma-separated string or a JSON array of strings. Spaces around commas are fine. Duplicate tags are merged.

"dietary": "Vegetarian, Gluten free"
"allergies": ["Peanuts", "EpiPen required"]
"disabilities": "ADHD, Autism"
"health_other": "ADHD, Autism, Mobility needs"

Aliases: dietary_requirements → dietary; allergy → allergies; disabilities, conditions, and medical_conditions → health_other. If you send more than one alias, the tags are combined.

medical_info, infectious_contact, notes_other, and shooting_medical are free-text notes, not tag lists.
