Overview

The FMV1 Configuration API provides endpoints for exporting, validating, comparing, and importing company configuration via Google Spreadsheets. This is the programmatic interface to the onboarding spreadsheet pipeline.

Authentication

These endpoints require an API key created with the FMV1_CONFIGURATION_MANAGER role. Standard API keys (e.g., those with CARRIER_ADMIN) will not have the required permissions.

To create an API key with this role, go to Settings > API Keys and select the FMV1 Configuration Manager role when generating the key.

Google OAuth Token

All endpoints require the caller to provide a googleOAuthToken — a Google OAuth2 access token with permission to read from (or write to) the target spreadsheet. The server does not use its own Google credentials for these operations.

You can obtain a token via Google’s OAuth2 flow with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets scope.

Workflow

The typical round-trip workflow is:

1. Generate — Create a new blank configuration spreadsheet template (or use Export to populate an existing one with current config)
2. Edit the spreadsheet manually
3. Validate — Check the spreadsheet for structural or data errors
4. Compare — Preview what changes the import would apply
5. Import — Apply the changes from the spreadsheet to the database
