# Retry a payment event of a company's connection API Reference

Reprocesses a payment event whose automatic invoicing did not complete, applying the
configuration of the NIF as it stands now. Use it after fixing what caused the failure,
for example a missing invoice series.

- **`retry_available`:** only events where it is `true` can be retried. Read it instead
  of deriving retryability from `status` yourself; anything else returns `400`.
- **Limit:** the status and the skip reason must admit reprocessing, and the event must
  still be under the limit of 3 retries (`retry_count`). A retry that fails for a
  transient cause outside the event (provider outage, timeout) does not count towards
  the limit.

for example a missing invoice series.

- **`retry_available`:** only events where it is `true` can be retried. Read it instead

### Authentication

Accepts any of:

- `ApiKeyAuth` (HTTP bearer, token format `beel_sk_*`)

### Parameters

- **company_id** (required) in path `string`: Unique identifier (UUID) of the company the events belong to — its identifier, not its NIF. It is the only source of context: the account that owns it is derived from it, and the `BeeL-Active-Company` header plays no part. A company you do not reach answers `403`, and so does a company that does not exist, so the existence of a company in another account is never disclosed.
- **connection_id** (required) in path `string`: Unique identifier (UUID) of the payment connection the operation acts on, as returned by `GET /v1/companies/{company_id}/payment-connections`. A NIF can hold several connections of the same provider, so the provider slug alone does not name one. A connection of another NIF answers `404`, exactly like one that does not exist.
- **event_id** (required) in path `string`: Identifier of the payment event, as returned by the list operation.
- **Idempotency-Key** (optional) in header `string`: Idempotency key to prevent duplicates in sensitive operations. - Any unique client-generated string (e.g. an order id). A UUID also works but is not required - Allowed characters: letters, digits, `_` and `-` (max 255 chars) - Retrying with the same key replays the first response when it was a success (2xx) or a server error (5xx): same status and body, plus the header `Idempotency-Replay: true`. After a 5xx, check whether the operation took effect before retrying with a **new** key - A 4xx is not stored: the key is released, so the corrected request can reuse it - Stored responses expire 24 hours after processing The key is scoped per user and environment, and bound to the request body, so retrying after a network timeout replays the stored response instead of repeating the operation. | Status | Code | When | |---|---|---| | `400` | `INVALID_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY` | The key breaks the format rules above. | | `409` | `IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_PROCESSING` | The first request is still in flight. Wait for the `Retry-After` seconds (2) and retry with the same key. | | `409` | `IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_MISMATCH` | The key was already used with a **different** body. Use a new key. |

### Responses

#### 200: Event reprocessed

**Content `application/json`:**

- **success** `boolean`: No description
- **data** `ManagedPaymentEvent`: A payment event of a managed NIF's connection (curated subset).
- **meta** `ResponseMeta`

#### 400: The event cannot be retried: its state does not admit a retry
(`EVENT_INVALID_STATUS_FOR_RETRY`), it exhausted its retries
(`EVENT_MAX_RETRIES_EXCEEDED`), or it no longer holds the original provider payload
(`EVENT_SOURCE_PAYLOAD_UNAVAILABLE`), in which case retrying will never succeed.


**Content `application/json`:**

- **success** (required) `boolean`: No description (example: false)
- **error** (required) `ErrorDetail`
- **meta** `ResponseMeta`
- **type** `string` (uri): Stable URI that identifies the problem type and where the integrator will find its documentation. (example: "https://docs.beel.es/errors/INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **title** `string`: Short summary of the problem type. Stable between occurrences of the same `type`. (example: "INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **detail** `string`: Specific message for this occurrence, localized according to `Accept-Language` (`es`, `en`, `ca`); defaults to English. Matches the legacy `error.message`. (example: "The invoice must have at least one line")
- **instance** `string` (uri-reference): URI that identifies the specific occurrence of the problem — typically the path of the affected resource. (example: "/v1/invoices/abc-123")

#### 401: Missing or invalid authentication. Like every other error, `message`/`detail` is
localized according to `Accept-Language` (`es`, `en`, `ca`); defaults to English when the
header is missing or asks for none of those.


**Content `application/json`:**

- **success** (required) `boolean`: No description (example: false)
- **error** (required) `ErrorDetail`
- **meta** `ResponseMeta`
- **type** `string` (uri): Stable URI that identifies the problem type and where the integrator will find its documentation. (example: "https://docs.beel.es/errors/INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **title** `string`: Short summary of the problem type. Stable between occurrences of the same `type`. (example: "INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **detail** `string`: Specific message for this occurrence, localized according to `Accept-Language` (`es`, `en`, `ca`); defaults to English. Matches the legacy `error.message`. (example: "The invoice must have at least one line")
- **instance** `string` (uri-reference): URI that identifies the specific occurrence of the problem — typically the path of the affected resource. (example: "/v1/invoices/abc-123")

**Example:**

```json
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "UNAUTHORIZED",
    "message": "Authentication is required to access this resource"
  },
  "meta": {
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z",
    "request_id": "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736"
  }
}
```

#### 403: Your account does not own or manage this company. The same answer is given for a
NIF that does not exist.


**Content `application/json`:**

- **success** (required) `boolean`: No description (example: false)
- **error** (required) `ErrorDetail`
- **meta** `ResponseMeta`
- **type** `string` (uri): Stable URI that identifies the problem type and where the integrator will find its documentation. (example: "https://docs.beel.es/errors/INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **title** `string`: Short summary of the problem type. Stable between occurrences of the same `type`. (example: "INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **detail** `string`: Specific message for this occurrence, localized according to `Accept-Language` (`es`, `en`, `ca`); defaults to English. Matches the legacy `error.message`. (example: "The invoice must have at least one line")
- **instance** `string` (uri-reference): URI that identifies the specific occurrence of the problem — typically the path of the affected resource. (example: "/v1/invoices/abc-123")

#### 404: `CONNECTION_NOT_FOUND` when no connection of this NIF carries this `{connection_id}`;
`EVENT_NOT_FOUND` when the connection is yours but the event is not its own. Both answer
alike to an event that does not exist: the `404` speaks of the connection and the event,
never of the NIF. A NIF you cannot reach answers `403`; a connection of another NIF
answers this `404`, so naming it reveals nothing.

#### default: Any status code the operation does not list above. Every operation declares it, so a
generated client always has a branch to fall into and never loses the cause of a failure
it did not anticipate.

This is where the transport-level answers land — `405`, `406`, `415` and `429` — together
with any status a future version of the API starts returning. All of them carry the same
error envelope as the codes listed explicitly, so `error.code` is what tells them apart:
switching on the status code alone is not enough. See «Transport-level errors» in the
API description for when each one is produced.

A `502` carrying `EXTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR` also lands here: an outbound integration the
operation depends on failed or did not answer in time. It is a transient condition — retry
with the same `Idempotency-Key` where the operation accepts one.

One exception to the envelope: a failure of the network edge that never reaches the
application (`502`, `503`, `504`, `524`) is generated by Cloudflare and its body is not
BeeL's — it may not even be JSON. Treat those as "no answer", and retry.

# Related Schema Definitions

## ManagedPaymentEventResponse

- **success** `boolean`: No description
- **data** `ManagedPaymentEvent`: A payment event of a managed NIF's connection (curated subset).
- **meta** `ResponseMeta`

## ManagedPaymentEvent

A payment event of a managed NIF's connection (curated subset).

- **id** (required) `string` (uuid): Identifier of the payment event.
- **provider** (required) `string`: Payment provider slug (lowercase). (example: "stripe")
- **event_type** (required) `string`: Raw event name as the provider emitted it. Preserved verbatim so you can trace the event back on the provider's side. Not filterable — filter by `event_kind`. (example: "payment_intent.succeeded")
- **event_kind** (required): What the event is about, once `event_type` has been classified. This is the value the `event_kind` filter takes, so what you read here you can ask for again. (example: "PAYMENT_COMPLETED")
- **external_event_id** (required) `string`: Provider-side event identifier. (example: "evt_1234567890")
- **external_payment_id** `string`: Canonical identity of the payment at the provider. On Stripe this is always the PaymentIntent id (`pi_…`), so every event of the same payment carries the same value and can be grouped by it. Null while the identity is not yet resolved. To trace the event back to the object that delivered it, use `source_object_id`. (example: "pi_1234567890")
- **source_object_id** `string`: Provider object that delivered this event (`in_…`, `cs_…`, `ch_…`, `pi_…`). Use it to open the originating invoice, checkout session or charge at the provider. It is an audit trail only: it never identifies the payment — `external_payment_id` does. (example: "in_1234567890")
- **currency** `string`: ISO 4217 currency of the event. Absent on an event that moves no money — a failed intent, or a provider notice we do not classify — and then `amount` is absent too. (example: "EUR")
- **amount** `number`: Amount the event carries. Absent whenever `currency` is: the two travel together, so an amount never arrives without the currency that gives it meaning. (example: 150)
- **fee_amount** `number`: Provider fee, when reported.
- **net_amount** `number`: Amount net of the provider fee, when reported.
- **category**: Which product line the money came from, resolved when the event was processed. Not the same as `event_kind`: that one says what happened, this one says where it came from. `null` when the event does not fall in any category, or when it predates the field.
- **money_returned** `boolean`: Whether money actually went back to the payer through the provider. Always `true` for a refund. For a credit note it is `true` only when the note settles provider refunds: a note credited against an unpaid invoice, or settled outside the provider, corrects the same amount without moving any money. `null` when the concept does not apply, as on a charge.
- **customer_email** `string`: Payer email reported by the provider.
- **customer_name** `string`: Payer name reported by the provider.
- **status** (required) `PaymentEventStatus`: Processing status of a payment event. - RECEIVED: queued, awaiting processing - PROCESSING: in flight - PROCESSED: invoice was created (`invoice_id` is set) - FAILED: processing failed (see failure_reason / failure_message) - SKIPPED: filtered out by user rules (see skip_reason) - MANUALLY_RESOLVED: operator marked it as resolved outside BeeL — terminal
- **invoice_id** `string` (uuid): Invoice generated from the event, when there is one.
- **invoice_number** `string`: Number of the invoice generated from the event. `null` while that invoice is still a draft — a draft has no number yet — and `null` when the event produced no invoice. (example: "2026/0042")
- **failure_category**: High-level cause of the failure, when the event did not complete. Same vocabulary the `failure_category` filter takes.
- **failure_reason** `string`: Stable failure code you can branch on. (example: "MISSING_DEFAULT_SERIES")
- **failure_message** `string`: Readable explanation of the failure, in the language of the request.
- **needs_action** (required) `boolean`: Whether the event did not complete and is still worth acting on. Events that failed for reasons outside your control are excluded.
- **draft_available** (required) `boolean`: Whether a draft invoice can be generated from this event. When `false`, the draft operation would be rejected.
- **retry_available** (required) `boolean`: Whether retrying this event would be accepted right now. Do not derive it from `status`: a skipped event may still be recoverable, and a failed one with no retries left is not.
- **discard_available** (required) `boolean`: Whether this event can be discarded — taken out of the list. When `false`, the discard operation would be rejected. An event that is `PROCESSED` or `PROCESSING` cannot be discarded: it has (or is about to have) an invoice that already went through VeriFactu, and hiding it would break the audit trail. Do not derive it from `status`: read this flag. Already-discarded events keep the flag they would have — what applies to them is restore, not discard.
- **retry_count** (required) `integer`: Retries charged to the event: those that ended in an outcome attributable to it. A retry that failed for a transient cause outside the event is not counted.
- **received_at** (required) `string` (date-time): When the event was received.
- **processed_at** `string` (date-time): When processing of the event finished.
- **description** `string`: Charge description as the provider reported it. It is what the description filters of the connection match against, so it is what makes them auditable.
- **payment_method**: How the charge was paid, when the provider reported it. `null` means the provider did not report a method for this event. (example: "CARD")
- **discarded** (required) `boolean`: Whether the event was discarded (soft-deleted) and is hidden by default.
- **discarded_at** `string` (date-time): When the event was discarded, when it is.

## ResponseMeta

- **timestamp** `string` (date-time): No description (example: "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z")
- **request_id** `string`: No description (example: "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736")

## ErrorResponse

Error response shared by all BeeL. APIs.

The payload carries **two contracts at once** (additive, non-breaking):

- **Legacy** (`success`, `error.{code,message,details}`, `meta`) — kept
  intact for existing consumers.
- **RFC 9457** (`type`, `title`, `detail`, `instance`) — new fields
  for integrators following Problem Details for HTTP APIs. The
  `type` URI is the stable, shareable link to the error's
  documentation page (e.g. `https://docs.beel.es/errors/{code}`).

Future migration: the legacy fields will be deprecated via
`Deprecation`/`Sunset` headers after a sufficient adoption window,
and the response Content-Type will move to
`application/problem+json`.

- **success** (required) `boolean`: No description (example: false)
- **error** (required) `ErrorDetail`
- **meta** `ResponseMeta`
- **type** `string` (uri): Stable URI that identifies the problem type and where the integrator will find its documentation. (example: "https://docs.beel.es/errors/INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **title** `string`: Short summary of the problem type. Stable between occurrences of the same `type`. (example: "INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **detail** `string`: Specific message for this occurrence, localized according to `Accept-Language` (`es`, `en`, `ca`); defaults to English. Matches the legacy `error.message`. (example: "The invoice must have at least one line")
- **instance** `string` (uri-reference): URI that identifies the specific occurrence of the problem — typically the path of the affected resource. (example: "/v1/invoices/abc-123")

## ErrorDetail

- **code** (required) `string`: No description (example: "VALIDATION_ERROR")
- **message** (required) `string`: No description (example: "The provided data is not valid")
- **details** `object`: No description (example: {"field":"specific error message"})

## PaymentEventStatus

Processing status of a payment event.

- RECEIVED: queued, awaiting processing
- PROCESSING: in flight
- PROCESSED: invoice was created (`invoice_id` is set)
- FAILED: processing failed (see failure_reason / failure_message)
- SKIPPED: filtered out by user rules (see skip_reason)
- MANUALLY_RESOLVED: operator marked it as resolved outside BeeL — terminal

Type: `string` — one of: RECEIVED, PROCESSING, PROCESSED, FAILED, SKIPPED, MANUALLY_RESOLVED
