## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `X-Moov-Version` | header | string |  | Set this header to v2026.10.00 to use the API described in this specification. When omitted, the server defaults to v2024.01.00, the earliest supported version, which may not match the behavior documented here. An unrecognized well-formed version uses the latest supported version that is not newer than the requested version, when one exists. For example, `v2026.08.00` uses `v2026.07.00`. A malformed value, such as `2022`, returns a `404` response. Values: `v2026.10.00`. |
| `accountID` | path | string | Yes | ID of the account. |
| `representativeID` | path | string | Yes | ID of the representative. |
