Issues an invitation and emails its redemption link to the invited party.
POST
/api/developer-portal/invitations
deprecated
Requires: DeveloperPortal.Invitations, DeveloperPortal.Invitations.Create, merchant scope.
The invited party must already be an active user of the acting merchant. The returned invitation carries no token; the link travels only in the email. If the email cannot be sent, the invitation is revoked before the call returns. Issues are rate limited per merchant, and a spent budget answers 429 until the window rolls over.
Signed in, you can send this request to your own sandbox merchant from the console and read the answer. Sign in to try it.

default The request failed. The body carries the standard error envelope: a machine-readable `error.code`, a human-readable `error.message`, and `error.validationErrors` when the failure was a validation rejection. See the error-code reference in this document's description for the values `error.code` can take.

429 The request was refused because a rate limit was exceeded, or because something a later retry can clear stopped it. A rate limit refusal carries an `application/problem+json` body: wait at least the interval `Retry-After` names before retrying, then back off. Limits are tuned per deployment, so read the allowance from the response headers rather than assuming a fixed ceiling. Any other refusal carries the standard error envelope as `application/json`, and its `error.code` names the cause.
