| `entryId` | string (ID) |  | The ID of an accounting entry, from entries.list or attention.mine. |
| `idempotencyKey` | string | Yes | Any unique text you generate once per intended change, so a retried request only happens once. Send it as the Idempotency-Key header instead if you prefer; if you send both they must match. 8–200 characters. |
