BOLD Recycling — MassID Event Reference

Canonical per-event JSON payloads and attribute dictionaries for BOLD Recycling integrations.

How to read this page

Each event below shows the canonical JSON payload integrators send to the Documents API. The isPublic flags inside each example are Carrot's recommended visibility — see Privacy & Masking for the model.

Each payload references its participant and address by participantId and addressId. Resolve each one first — retrieve it by key or create it — via the Participants API; sending full participant and address objects inline is also supported and find-or-creates the record. Send exactly one form of each pair — both, or neither, fails with 400 VALIDATION_ERROR. The rule is the same on the single-event and batch endpoints.

Each event that carries metadata attributes also lists them in a table under its payload. Attribute names are exact: send them as written. Visibility is the recommended isPublic / sensitive pair for the attribute. Public, masked means isPublic: true with sensitive: true; a dash means the methodology rules do not check that attribute's visibility. Whether an attribute marked Conditional is required depends on a condition that its Notes state.

Create MassID document

The initial POST /documents call that creates a MassID. Not an event on the document's timeline — included here as the starting point for integrator flows. The Waste Generator is the creator; events are added to this document afterward.
