/sw/quotes/{project_reference} response

The request body should match the inputs that are defined within your Swallow pricing project. You can see the desired payload by looking at the Try page of any project or project version. For example:

{
        "name": "Smith",
        "date_of_birth": "1990-01-01",
        "country": "UK",
        "duration_days": 5,
        "is_healthy": true
}

The response body will return the priced quote with the outputs that are defined within your Swallow pricing project.

	"company_reference": "098ae4f2-3af8-4740-8760-5d312e46742c",

	},
	"created_at": "2023-09-20T09:32:43.865Z",
}
