Create a checklist

Create a Check List on the authenticated client. name is required. Countries, domains, and feature codes are optional on create — you can add services later with Update a checklist.

Saving the list does not run lookups and does not spend credits. In Smart-Agent, create lands you back on the dashboard; this API returns the new document immediately.

Endpoint

POST https://api.verifik.co/v2/check-lists

Creates a list owned by the client on the JWT. The response data object includes _id — store it for later GET, PUT, and DELETE calls. Default status is draft.

Headers

Name	Value
Content-Type	application/json
Authorization	Bearer <token>

The token must be a client JWT. A token without clientId returns 403.

Body

Name	Type	Required	Description
name	string	Yes	Display name. Trimmed, 1–150 characters.
countries	string[]	No	Country names you operate in (for example Colombia). Duplicates are dropped. Default [].
domains	string[]	No	Optional tabs: people, vehicles, businesses. Default [].
featureCodes	string[]	No	AppFeature code values to save on the list. Default [].
status	string	No	draft (default) or active. Organizer label only — both work the same.

Unknown featureCodes fail. A service whose country does not match countries fails unless that service is worldwide or countries is empty.

Notes

• name is the only required field. You can create an empty list and add featureCodes later.
• Countries are stored as you send them (for example Colombia). They are not ISO codes.
• status does not change server behavior. Draft and active lists both work.
• Unknown domains values fail validation. Allowed values: people, vehicles, businesses.
• Creating a list does not spend credits. Running a saved service is a normal catalog call.
• There is no execute-checklist endpoint. See Check List and SmartBatch.
