}Silos
Create silo
Creates a silo at one of your plants. A silo holds same-type
supplier products from one or more suppliers; a BOM can reference
the silo instead of individual supplier products by using
type: silo.
Idempotent create — a replay of the same Idempotency-Key returns the
original response (200); otherwise a new silo is created
(201). Your external_id must be unique: reusing one returns 409. See
External IDs.

}Authorizations
Per-manufacturer API key in the X-API-Key header, format
emidat-{key_id}-{secret} where key_id is a random public handle.
Issued by an owner in the Emidat
dashboard; carries its own permission scopes, optional plant
restrictions, and optional expiry. A revoked, expired, or unknown key
returns 401. See the Authentication guide for details.
Headers
Optional client-generated key (e.g. a UUID) that makes a create
idempotent — the only mechanism that does so. A replay carrying the same
key returns the original response unchanged (200); reusing a key with a
different request body is rejected with 409. Keys are scoped to your
manufacturer and retained for 6h. See External IDs.
Body
application/json
The plant's Emidat UUID.
Human-readable silo name.
Example:
"Cement Silo 1 (Munich)"
Supplier products that constitute this silo — at least 1, all the
same material type (see SiloItem), at this silo's plant, with no
duplicates.
Minimum array length:
1Show child attributes
Show child attributes
Your own silo code. Optional. When provided it is unique among your
active silos — creating another with the same code returns 409 (see
External IDs).
Example:
"CEMENT_SILO_MUNICH_1"
Response
Returned unchanged — an Idempotency-Key replay.
Emidat-assigned silo UUID.
Your own code for this silo, null when none is set. BOM entries reference it by its Emidat id, not this code.
Example:
"CEMENT_SILO_MUNICH_1"
The plant's Emidat UUID.
Human-readable silo name.
Example:
"Cement Silo 1 (Munich)"
Supplier products constituting this silo, with yearly purchase volumes.
