# act: record fit reading
Records one result of a person's own test: the tactic, the market, the measure, its value, the sample and where it came from to The answer gives the reading as a fact the record keeps
[figure: The caller sends FitReadingInput to /v1/act/record_fit_reading. The platform returns a card whose body is FitReading.]
POST/v1/act/record_fit_reading
Record a fit reading. The call needs the brand rung under a token with the act grant, and it is served by the platform.
The route takes [FitReadingInput](/concepts/fitreadinginput) and returns a card whose body is [FitReading](/concepts/fitreading).
## Request body
The request body is [FitReadingInput](/concepts/fitreadinginput).
| field | type | required | note |
|---|---|---|---|
| `tactic` | [Tactic](/concepts/tactic) | yes | |
| `vertical` | `id` | yes | |
| `segment` | `id` | no | |
| `offering` | `id` | no | |
| `measure` | [KindOfMeasure](/concepts/kindofmeasure) | yes | |
| `value` | `json` | yes | the number, or never measured with the reason |
| `sample` | `count` | no | |
| `source` | `one of a form \| a CRM \| a capture \| an upload \| a call \| the record` | yes | |
| `hypothesis` | `id` | no | |
| `note` | `text` | no | |
## Response
The route returns a card whose body is [FitReading](/concepts/fitreading). 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.
## Headers
| header | required | meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `Scale-Scope` | yes | the scope the call runs in: tenant/, then /brand/, then /strategy/ |
| `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 FitReadingInput allows. The build validates it against the schema of FitReadingInput.
Example
```sh
curl -X POST https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/act/record_fit_reading \
-H "Scale-Key: $SCALE_KEY" -H "Scale-Scope: tenant/" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{ "tactic": "…", "vertical": "…", "measure": "…", "value": null, "source": "a form" }'
```
```typescript
import { client } from "@scale/sdk";
const answer = await client.act.record_fit_reading({
"tactic": "…",
"vertical": "…",
"measure": "…",
"value": null,
"source": "a form"
});
// answer.body is a FitReading. answer.foot holds the basis, the scope and the time.
```
```python
import requests
answer = requests.post("https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/act/record_fit_reading",
headers={"Scale-Key": KEY, "Scale-Scope": "tenant/"},
json={
"tactic": "…",
"vertical": "…",
"measure": "…",
"value": null,
"source": "a form"
}).json()
```
```rust
let answer: Card = client.post("https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/act/record_fit_reading")
.header("Scale-Key", key).header("Scale-Scope", "tenant/")
.json(&FitReadingInput { /* the fields of the page */ }).send().await?.json().await?;
