Adds `delta` (default 1) to an integer value, creating it at zero.

- **Path** `POST https://api.data.sylphx.com/v1/kv-increments`
- **Scope** `data:write`
- **Effect** `write` — a successful call changes state.
- **Collection** [kv](/docs/api/kv)
- **Host** `https://api.data.sylphx.com`

## Request

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `namespace_id` | `string` | The namespace's id. Required. |
| `key` | `string` | The key. Required. |
| `delta` | `int64` | The amount to add; unset adds 1, and zero reads the count. |

## Response

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `value` | `ValueRecord` | The entry after the increment; `value` is the decimal text of the count. |

### ValueRecord

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `namespace_id` | `string` | The namespace's id in the environment, for example `ratelimit`. |
| `key` | `string` | The key. |
| `value` | `bytes` | The bytes, base64. |
| `sha256` | `string` | `sha256:<hex>` of the value. |
| `version` | `uint64` | The version, increasing per key. |
| `expires_at_unix_ms` | `int64` | Expiry in Unix milliseconds; zero never expires. |
| `updated_at_unix_ms` | `int64` | When this version was written, in Unix milliseconds. |
