`POST https://api.border.bot/v1/classify/blocklist/import`

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

Block a list of codes at once, or with `replace: true` make the list exactly these. All or nothing: an import that would pass 5,000 codes changes nothing. Free.

API key scope: `settings`.

## Request body (JSON)

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `codes` | object[] | yes |  |
| `replace` | boolean | no |  |

## Responses

- `200`: What the import added, updated and removed. (`BlockedCodesImportResponse`)
- `400`: Invalid input (`invalid_input`). (`Error`)
- `401`: Missing, invalid, revoked or expired API key (`unauthorized`). (`Error`)
- `403`: The API key doesn’t have the `settings` 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`)
