`POST https://api.border.bot/v1/catalog/products/{id}/archive`

Requires an API key (`Authorization: Bearer bb_live_…`).

Retires a product and its items: out of lists and SKU lookups (its SKUs become free), kept with its sources, content, codes and history. Nothing in the catalogue is ever deleted. Restore it by updating its `status`. Free.

API key scope: `catalog`.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string (uuid) | yes | The product’s id. |

## Responses

- `200`: The archived product. (`CatalogProductResponse`)
- `400`: Invalid input (`invalid_input`). (`Error`)
- `401`: Missing, invalid, revoked or expired API key (`unauthorized`). (`Error`)
- `403`: The API key doesn’t have the `catalog` scope (`forbidden`, `details.reason: "missing_scope"`). (`Error`)
- `429`: Rate limited (`rate_limited`). Retry after `Retry-After` seconds; `RateLimit` says which limit was hit (`r=0`, `t` seconds until its window ends) and `RateLimit-Policy` its quota. (`Error`)
- `500`: Unexpected error (`internal`). (`Error`)
