Registers a revenue source. The `money` source is implicit and never created here.

- **Path** `POST https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/revenue_sources`
- **Scope** `revenue:write`
- **Effect** `write` — a successful call changes state.
- **Collection** [revenue_sources](/docs/api/revenue_sources)
- **Query** `revenue_source_id`, `validate_only`

## Request

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `parent` | `string` | The org to create in: `orgs/{org}`. Required. |
| `revenue_source_id` | `string` | The source's id; `^[a-z]([a-z0-9_-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?$`. Empty: Money assigns one. |
| `revenue_source` | `RevenueSource` | The source to create. Required. |
| `validate_only` | `bool` | Validate only; write nothing. |

### RevenueSource

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | `orgs/{org}/revenue_sources/{revenue_source}`. |
| `meta` | `ResourceMeta` | Resource metadata. |
| `spec` | `RevenueSourceSpec` | Desired state. Required. |

### ResourceMeta

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `labels` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, indexed labels (AIP-122 label rules). |
| `annotations` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, unindexed annotations. |
| `display_name` | `string` | Caller-writable human-readable name. |

### RevenueSourceSpec

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `kind` | `string` | `money`, `stripe`, `google_play`, `app_store`, `ad_network`, `file` or `manual`. Set on create and never changed; `money` is never created. Required. |
| `display_name` | `string` | Shown on summaries and in the console. |
| `paused` | `bool` | A paused source is not synced and cannot be run; its facts still count. |
| `config` | `map<string, string>` | The connector's settings (an account id, a bucket, a column mapping), never a credential. At most 32 entries. |

## Response

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | `orgs/{org}/revenue_sources/{revenue_source}`. |
| `uid` | `string` | The source's id (`rvs-…`); never reused. Output only. |
| `meta` | `ResourceMeta` | Resource metadata. |
| `spec` | `RevenueSourceSpec` | Desired state. Required. |
| `status` | `RevenueSourceStatus` | Observed state. Output only. |

### ResourceMeta

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `generation` | `int64` | Increases by one on every change to `spec`. Output only. |
| `etag` | `string` | Strong ETag (AIP-154): changes on any change to spec, status, or metadata. Send it back as `If-Match` or `etag` to make Update and Delete conditional; a mismatch fails with ABORTED / 409 `ETAG_MISMATCH`. Output only. |
| `create_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource was created. Output only. |
| `update_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource last changed. Output only. |
| `delete_time` | `timestamp` | Set while the Resource is being deleted. Output only. |
| `labels` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, indexed labels (AIP-122 label rules). |
| `annotations` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, unindexed annotations. |
| `display_name` | `string` | Caller-writable human-readable name. |
| `creator` | `string` | The principal that created the Resource. Output only. |

### RevenueSourceSpec

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `kind` | `string` | `money`, `stripe`, `google_play`, `app_store`, `ad_network`, `file` or `manual`. Set on create and never changed; `money` is never created. Required. |
| `display_name` | `string` | Shown on summaries and in the console. |
| `paused` | `bool` | A paused source is not synced and cannot be run; its facts still count. |
| `config` | `map<string, string>` | The connector's settings (an account id, a bucket, a column mapping), never a credential. At most 32 entries. |

### RevenueSourceStatus

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `observed_generation` | `int64` | The generation this status was computed from. Output only. |
| `conditions` | `Condition[]` | `Ready` while the source is fresh; `False` with reason `Stale`, `Paused` or `NeverSynced` otherwise. Output only. |
| `environment` | `string` | For a `money` source, the environment it books: `orgs/{org}/projects/{project}/envs/{env}`. Empty for every other kind. Output only. |
| `last_success_time` | `timestamp` | When the source last synced successfully. Unset for a `money` source, which books in real time. Output only. |
| `newest_day` | `string` | The newest day the source holds, `YYYY-MM-DD`; empty when it holds none. Output only. |
| `stale` | `bool` | The newest day is older than the kind's normal lag plus one day, or the source has never synced: summaries name it and mark the days it has not reported as incomplete. Output only. |
| `last_run_state` | `string` | The last run: `running`, `succeeded` or `failed`; empty before the first. Output only. |
