# Bulk create accounts
> _Requires the `contacts:write` scope (or a broader one that includes it)._

Each item in the response array contains the created ID or error details.

via JSON Pointer plus a sanitized detail
string.
items:

title: Validation Error
description: A single field-level validation error.
properties:
pointer:
type: string
description: >-
JSON Pointer (RFC 6901) to the offending
field — e.g.
`/steps/0/subject`.
* An empty string (`""`) means the error
applies to the whole
request body (e.g. body is missing or unparseable).
* For route or query parameter failures
the pointer is the parameter
name (e.g. `id`, `top`).
example: /steps/0/subject
detail:
type: string
description: >-
Sanitized, human-readable explanation of
this field's error. One of a
small set of templates — `"Field is
required."`, `"Value has an
invalid type."`, `"Value has an invalid
format."`, `"Request body is
not valid JSON."`, `"The request body is
required and cannot be
empty."` — or a FluentValidator message
on body endpoints.
example: Field is required.
title: Validation Problem
description: >-
Input-validation error response at 400. Returned when
the request body
fails binding, FluentValidator rules, or when
route/query parameter
attribute validation (`[Range]`, `[Required]`) fails.
Route, query, and
body errors are combined into a single `errors[]`
array — clients should
not assume one error per request.
- example:
title: Validation failed
status: 400
detail: The request body contains validation errors.

Stable, machine-readable error slug in the

`sequence`,
`contact`, `inboxThread`, `blacklistDomainRule`.
* `variant` is the camelCased specific failure
mode — e.g.
`notFound`, `forbidden`, `duplicateName`, `globalRuleReadOnly`.
Use `code` for programmatic error handling;
use `detail` for
user-facing messages. Slugs are stable across
server-side enum
reorderings and never change meaning under a
given resource.
