# Save a SAT credential (CIEC or FIEL)

> Save the taxpayer's SAT password (CIEC), or their FIEL (e.firma), for this profile's RFC. Send either `password` or `fiel`. The credential is checked against SAT asynchronously, so a live response starts as `pending`; wait for the `fiscal_profile.sat_credential_verified` webhook or poll GET before relying on it. Saving again replaces and revokes the previous credential. Credentials expire after at most 90 days; a `fiscal_profile.sat_credential_expiring` webhook fires 14 days ahead. Test-mode and sandbox profiles are simulated and verified immediately; nothing leaves this API.

        An unknown value returns 400 `request.invalid_version`. Echoed back on
        every response.

      description: >-
        Safely retry any POST. A successful (2xx) response is stored for 24h and
        replayed byte-for-byte for identical retries (the replay adds an
        `idempotent-replayed: true` header). A non-2xx releases the key, so you
        can fix the cause and retry with the same key;
        `pac.stamp_outcome_unknown`, `pac.auth_failed` and
        `download.request_failed` are the exceptions and replay like a success.
        Reusing the key of a stored response with a different body is 409
        `idempotency.key_reuse`; an in-flight duplicate is 409
        `idempotency.key_processing`.

      description: >-
        Unique id for this request. Also the `request_id` in every error body —
        log it and quote it to support; idempotency keys off it too.
      schema:

    InvoiceVersionResponse:
      description: >-
        The dated API version resolved for this request (request header → key

    Traceparent:
      description: >-
        W3C Trace Context. When you send a valid `traceparent`, the response
        continues the trace (same trace-id, a fresh span-id, sampled flag).
