Use the standard [Add](/api-reference/v1/downstream-entity-associations/add) endpoint instead. Adds a downstream entity directly without performing standard validation checks. ## OpenAPI ````yaml openapi/v1.json POST /v1/downstream-entity-associations/dangerously-add openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Turris Public API description: API for managing insurance compliance data version: 1.0.0 contact: {} servers: - url: https://public.api.live.turrisfi.com description: Production - url: https://public.api.sandbox.turrisfi.com description: Sandbox security: [] tags: [] paths: /v1/downstream-entity-associations/dangerously-add: post: tags: - downstream-entity-associations operationId: AssociatedDownstreamEntitiesController_dangerouslyAddDownstreamEntity_v1 parameters: - name: idempotency-key in: header description: UUID to ensure idempotent request processing required: false schema: type: string example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000 - name: x-idempotency-key in: header description: Alternative UUID header for idempotent request processing required: false schema: type: string example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000 requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/AddDownstreamEntityDto' responses: '201': description: Downstream entity added (deprecated) content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: data: $ref: >- #/components/schemas/DownstreamEntityAssociationResponseDto requestId: type: string description: Unique request identifier example: dev-2c5e7cf2-9acf-4c8c-ab2f-b81f39d775a8 timestamp: type: string description: Response timestamp example: '2025-11-12T20:49:03.293Z' required: - data - requestId - timestamp '400': description: Invalid request body content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ErrorResponseDto' '401': description: Invalid or missing auth token content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ErrorResponseDto' '409': description: Downstream entity already exists content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ErrorResponseDto' deprecated: true components: schemas: AddDownstreamEntityDto: type: object properties: downstreamEntityNpn: type: string description: >- National Producer Number (NPN) of the downstream entity.
