# act: map brand

a web address, and the brand scope to hold the map to the map as it stands, with every part measured or never measured, and the demand raised

[figure: The caller sends MapBrandInput to /v1/act/map_brand. The platform returns a card whose body is Map.]

<span class="op-method">POST</span><span class="op-path">/v1/act/map_brand</span><span class="op-note">a task, 202</span>

Map a brand from a website. The call needs the brand rung under a token with the act grant, and it is served by the platform.

The route takes [MapBrandInput](/concepts/mapbrandinput) and returns a card whose body is [Map](/concepts/map).



## Request body
The request body is [MapBrandInput](/concepts/mapbrandinput).



| field | type | required | note |
|---|---|---|---|
| `website` | `address` | yes |  |
| `name` | `text` | no |  |
| `tenant` | `id` | yes |  |



## Response
The route returns a card whose body is [Map](/concepts/map). Every card ends with a foot that states the basis of each number, the scope of the call, and the time when the facts were true. This route runs as a long step and returns a task with status 202. `POST /v1/work/status` returns the task's progress, and `POST /v1/work/cancel` stops the task.

## Headers


| header | required | meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `Scale-Scope` | yes | the scope the call runs in: tenant/<id>, then /brand/<id>, then /strategy/<id> |
| `Scale-As-True-On` | no | the date the facts must have been true on; defaults to now |
| `Scale-As-Known-On` | no | the date the facts must have been known on; defaults to now |
| `Scale-Key` | no | for a change, the key made from the input; a repeat under the same key returns the unit held and writes nothing |



A caller needs the brand rung and a token with the act grant. The platform serves this route.

## Example
The example sends the smallest body that MapBrandInput allows. The build validates it against the schema of MapBrandInput.

<details class="wire"><summary>Example</summary>





```sh
curl -X POST https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/act/map_brand \
  -H "Scale-Key: $SCALE_KEY" -H "Scale-Scope: tenant/<id>" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "website": "…", "tenant": "…" }'
```




```typescript
import { client } from "@scale/sdk";
const answer = await client.act.map_brand({
    "website": "…",
    "tenant": "…"
  });
// answer.body is a Map. answer.foot holds the basis, the scope and the time.
```




```python
import requests
answer = requests.post("https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/act/map_brand",
    headers={"Scale-Key": KEY, "Scale-Scope": "tenant/<id>"},
    json={
      "website": "…",
      "tenant": "…"
    }).json()
```




```rust
let answer: Card = client.post("https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/act/map_brand")
    .header("Scale-Key", key).header("Scale-Scope", "tenant/<id>")
    .json(&MapBrandInput { /* the fields of the page */ }).send().await?.json().await?;
```

## MCP tool
The MCP tool `si.act.map_brand` takes the same input and returns the same card. The tool changes data and needs a grant. An MCP host that renders cards draws this card from `ui://scale-intelligence/cards/Map`. The [tool's page](/reference/tools/si-act-map_brand) describes it.
