Source references
Create source reference
POST
/api/v1/source_references
on the Little Outreach JSON API. Send
Authorization: Bearer
or
X-Api-Key
on every request.
Description
Attaches a standalone citation to an existing Person, Organization, or Membership.
Most callers don't need this endpoint — other write endpoints (create/update people,
organizations, memberships, places, name aliases) already accept `source_reference`
inline. Use this when you want to add another citation to a record later without
changing any of its fields.
