API Reference

RFQ Submission API

This is the same endpoint the AvantSpecs Order Portal calls when a buyer submits a Request for Quote. It accepts a single public write operation — creating a new RFQ record — and nothing else. Row Level Security on the underlying table grants the public anon key INSERT-only access: there is no public read, update, or delete endpoint for submitted data.

The full machine-readable definition is published as an OpenAPI 3.0 document at /openapi/rfq-submissions.json.

The Order Portal on the Product Register submits to this same endpoint through a guided form — no API client required.
