### API Validations

There are more than 200 field validations as well as business validations on the Clear API side. For data validation errors, the validation error message will be sent back in the \`jsonRecordErrors\` field in the response.

### API Constraints

1. This API needs to be authenticated with a valid user authentication token. If the auth token is not present or is invalid, the API will return HTTP Status Code 401.
2. If the auth token is valid, but the user does not have the authorization, then the API will return HTTP Status Code 403. The user, whose auth token is used, should have permission to create a document.
