# economics: study
`PricingStudyInput`: the methods to run, the buyer profiles, the rivals' window to the study as a fact and its candidate ladders as a set of options
[figure: The caller sends PricingStudyInput to /v1/economics/study. The platform returns a card whose body is PricingStudy.]
POST/v1/economics/studya task, 202
Si.economics.study. The call needs the platform rung under a token with the act grant, and it is served by the platform.
The route takes [PricingStudyInput](/concepts/pricingstudyinput) and returns a card whose body is [PricingStudy](/concepts/pricingstudy).
## Request body
The request body is [PricingStudyInput](/concepts/pricingstudyinput).
| field | type | required | note |
|---|---|---|---|
| `methods` | [Method](/concepts/method) | yes | |
| `kinds_of_buyer` | `[id]` | yes | |
| `window` | [Window](/concepts/window) | yes | |
## Response
The route returns a card whose body is [PricingStudy](/concepts/pricingstudy). 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/, 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 platform rung and a token with the act grant. The platform serves this route.
## Example
The example sends the smallest body that PricingStudyInput allows. The build validates it against the schema of PricingStudyInput.
Example
```sh
curl -X POST https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/economics/study \
-H "Scale-Key: $SCALE_KEY" -H "Scale-Scope: tenant/" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{ "methods": [], "kinds_of_buyer": [], "window": { "from": "…", "to": "…" } }'
```
```typescript
import { client } from "@scale/sdk";
const answer = await client.economics.study({
"methods": [],
"kinds_of_buyer": [],
"window": {
"from": "…",
"to": "…"
}
});
// answer.body is a PricingStudy. answer.foot holds the basis, the scope and the time.
```
```python
import requests
answer = requests.post("https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/economics/study",
headers={"Scale-Key": KEY, "Scale-Scope": "tenant/"},
json={
"methods": [],
"kinds_of_buyer": [],
"window": {
"from": "…",
"to": "…"
}
}).json()
```
```rust
let answer: Card = client.post("https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/economics/study")
.header("Scale-Key", key).header("Scale-Scope", "tenant/")
.json(&PricingStudyInput { /* the fields of the page */ }).send().await?.json().await?;
