}Record a manual freight quote
Records a freight quote the operator obtained outside Shippo, by phone or through a carrier portal, requiring a carrier and amount and defaulting currency to USD. The order must already be flagged as freight, and the new quote starts unaccepted until a separate accept call is made; requires orders:write scope.

API key issued per entity via Settings > Developers > API Keys.
Each key carries scopes (e.g. orders:read, products:write).
Bearer token format: Authorization: Bearer ark_live_ent_Test keys use ark_test_ent_. Both are issued per entity
via Settings > Developers > API Keys.
Headers
Client-generated unique key for idempotent POST/PATCH/DELETE operations. Alias for the Idempotency parameter. Max 255 chars. On retry with the same key, the original response is returned without re-executing the operation. Keys expire after 24 hours.

Response
Freight quote created
A carrier rate-quote attached to a freight order. Created either manually (operator booked a carrier outside Shippo) via POST /freight_orders/{id}/quotes, or in bulk by pulling Shippo LTL rates via POST /freight_orders/{id}/quotes/shippo. Exactly one quote per order may carry a non-null accepted_at; accepting a quote rolls its amount into orders.shipping_total. Rule 23 SSOT: amount is written only by createFreightQuoteHandler and the Shippo rate-import; accepted_at is written only by acceptFreightQuoteHandler. Scope: orders:read / orders:write.
