# Create a DOT nominate request

POST https://your-protect-instance.example.com/api/rest/v1/requests/outgoing/dot/nominate
Content-Type: application/json

This endpoint creates a nominate request for DOT. You can nominate up to 16 validators given as whitelisted address id.
 Required role: **RequestCreator**.
This API can be made idempotent by generating an ID for the Request beforehand and passing it as the externalRequestId attribute

Reference: https://taurushq.ferndocs.com/protect-capital/reference/requests-dot/create-outgoing-dot-nominate-request

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer authentication of the form `Bearer <token>`, where token is your auth token.

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a tgvalidatordCreateOutgoingDOTNominateRequestRequest.

- `fromAddressId` (string, required) — uint64; The ID of the source address for funds.
- `validatorWLAIds` (list of string, required) — List of whitelisted validator addresses
- `feeLimit` (string, optional) — numeric; Maximum amount of fees to be paid for the transaction.
- `comment` (string, optional) — A reconciliation note can be given when initiating a request and this will be included in transaction history.
- `transactionReference` (string, optional) — **Deprecated:** use `externalRequestId` instead
- `externalRequestId` (string, optional) — Identifier for the request in the user's system. This must be unique. Attempting to create a request with an existing externalRequestId will do nothing and return the originally created request

## Response

### 200

A successful response.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Bad Request: indicates that the server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (for example, malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing)

- `any`

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized: indicates that the client request has not been completed because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the requested resource

- `any`

### 403 Forbidden Error

Forbidden: indicates that the server understands the request but refuses to authorize it

### 404 Not Found Error

Not Found: indicates that the server cannot find the requested resource
